E1 Property Tax

09/10 Final 10/11 Tentative

The property tax assessment process starts when the city's assessors determine the market value of your property. Despite the name, this value has little to do with what someone would actually pay for your property. In some neighborhoods the market values are close to actual property values. In others they can be as little as 5% of true values. Even within neighborhoods there can be wide variations.

Market Value $4,110,000 $3,600,000

Property tax is only levied on a portion of the market value. This portion is called the assessed value. For 1-3 family homes and 1-3 story condos, taxes are levied on 6% of the market value. For all other properties, taxes are levied on 45% of the value.

Sometimes the city will exempt part of the assessed value from taxation for a certain number of years. Usually these exemptions are granted as an incentive to make improvements to an existing structure or to build on a vacant lot. Larger incentives are granted in development zones. For rental property the incentives are usually tied to rent stabilization.

Market Value $4,110,000 $3,600,000
Assessment Ratio x 0.06 x 0.06
City's Assessed Value = $246,600 = $216,000
Exemptions Granted by the City - $91,652 - $97,150
City's Net Assessed Value = $154,948 = $118,850

While the city's assessors have noted the rapid appreciation of property in New York City, the state understands that it would be burdensome for property taxes to rise too fast. Therefore, increases in the assessed value are phased in over a number of years. This introduces the transitional assessed value, which is limit on the portion of the assessed value which has been introduced into the tax base.

Unfortunately, when the assessed value is phased in, sometimes the exemptions are as well.

Transitional Assessed Value $91,652 $97,150
Transitional Exemption Value - $91,652 - $97,150
Transitional Net Assessed Value = $0 = $0

The taxable value is the smaller of the city's net assessed value and the transitional net assessed value.

Taxable Value $0 $0

The property tax is determined by multiplying the assessed value by the tax rate. The tax rate is different for different types of buildings.

In addition to exemptions, the city also grants tax abatements to some properties. An abatement is simply a discount — it is subtracted directly from the annual tax bill.

Taxable Value $0 $0
Tax Rate x 0.17088 x 0.17088 *
Tax before Tax Abatements = $0 = $0
Tax Abatements - $0 - $0
Annual Tax Bill = $0 = $0

* The current year's tax rate has been applied to the Tentative Assessment since the new tax rates will not be set until later this year.

This web site is not an authoritative source for property tax information. The computer program that generates this analysis was only validated in an informal manner using a small sample of properties. The analysis presented for this property may be incorrect, and you should validate it independently if you will rely on it. The only authoritative source is the New York City Department of Finance (DOF). You can visit the property tax section of its web site here.

The analysis presented here is based on assessment data from a point in time. The DOF periodically revises assessments. If the assessment for this property is raised, the tax bill will almost certainly rise as well. Some raises are phased in (transitioned) slowly, others are not. From time to time the city raises tax rates, which also raises tax bills.

E2 Exemptions

The Department of Finance (DOF) issues exemptions bi-annually every fiscal year (7/1 - 6/30). Tentative exemptions are issued at the beginning of the fiscal year and are subject to adjustment if the DOF learns of changes in eligibility criteria. The Final exemptions are issued at the end of the fiscal year and will reflect any changes in exemption totals. Increases in assessed value of all class 4 properties and coops, condos, and rental buildings with more than 10 units in class 2 must be phased-in over a 5 year period. The transitional assessed value represents the interim value and any changes occurring during this phase-in period.

Sequence Exemption code Exemption description
1 25120 Religious School

Exemption Code: A five-digit identification number used for designating each specific exemption type. The first of the five digits can have a value of 1, 2, 3, or 4, and these values can be interpreted as follows:

1. Public owner, exemption not limited by State law in amount, duration, or tax purpose.
2. Private owner, exemption not limited by State law in amount, duration, or tax purpose.
3. Public owner, exemption limited by State law in amount, duration, or tax purpose.
4. Private owner, exemption limited by State law in amount, duration, or tax purpose.

The second, third, and fourth digits are read together and constitute a unique code for each exemption statute. The fifth digit, which can have a value ranging from zero to 6, identifies the tax purposes for which the exemption is granted and it can be interpreted as follows:

0. Exempt for county, city/town, and school purposes.
1. Exempt for county, and city/town purposes.
2. Exempt for county purposes.
3. Exempt for city/town purposes.
4. Exempt for school purposes.
5. Exempt for county and school purposes.
6. Exempt for city/town and school purposes.
_. (Underline) More than one entry possible (local-option exemptions).

PropertyShark obtains its records from the DOF and updates them bi-annually.

E3 Historical Assessed Value

Please note: This section is new and is being tested. In the future it might not be included in the basic property reports subscription. Rather, it may be part of a separate subscription combining this section and other more detailed information about property taxes, exemptions, and abatements.

Year Building Change
Change in equalization building assessment, excluding STAR exemptions.
Building Value Land Change
Change in equalization land assessment, excluding exemptions.
Land Value Remis
This is the land and building remission values combined. If during any assessment, the assessor establishes that a property's value has changed substantially,it will be recorded on the next released roll. However, a property's value cannot increase drastically in a short amount of time. (This is to prevent a large jump in annual property tax payments with little notice.) To allow for this change, remissions are issued to counter the increase, which prevents these large jumps in taxes.
Total
This is the total value, including remissions, for both land and building.

G1 HPD Violations

When excessive violations are present, this can adversely affect the support given by The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These violations can result in building-wide inspections, fees, and the requirement of extensive repair work to correct underlying conditions. In some cases, outstanding violations may result in a lien being placed on the property. It is also substantially more difficult to mortgage a building with extensive violations.

Description of the Classes

Class I
Conditions that render the building uninhabitable.
Class C
Immediately hazardous, such as inadequate fire exits, rodents, lead-based paint, lack of heat, hot water, electricity, or gas. An owner has 24 hours to correct a C violation and five days to certify the correction to remove the violation. If the owner fails to comply with emergency C violations such as lack of heat or hot water, HPD initiates corrective action through its Emergency Repair Program.
Class B
Hazardous conditions, such as requiring public doors to be self-closing, adequate lighting in public areas, lack of posted Certificate of Occupancy, or removal of vermin. An owner has 30 days to correct a B violation and two weeks to certify the correction to remove the violation.
Class A
Non-hazardous conditions, such as minor leaks, chipping or peeling paint when no children under the age of six live in the home, or lack of signs designating floor numbers. An owner has 90 days to correct an A violation and two weeks to certify repair to remove the violation.

Sorry, no records were found!

Please note: the NYC HPD is the only authoritative source for information on housing violations. Please consult the HPD web site for up-to-date violations.
