NYC property taxes are assessed and collected by the Department of Finance (DOF). You can look up any property's tax information for free through the DOF's online Property Tax portal (nyc.gov/finance) or the Property Information Portal (PIP). Key data includes assessed value, market value, tax class (1-4), annual tax amount, and any exemptions (STAR, 421-a, J-51). For a more comprehensive view that combines DOF tax data with violations, permits, and title records, RegWatch aggregates property tax data alongside 270+ other government sources:
New York City's property tax system is one of the most complex in the country. The Department of Finance (DOF) assesses over 1 million properties across four tax classes, each with different assessment ratios and tax rates. Understanding a property's tax situation is critical for investment analysis, due diligence, and portfolio management.
Key tax data points include assessed value, market value, tax class, annual tax amount, DOF balance (outstanding amounts), exemptions (like STAR, 421-a, ICIP), and any tax liens that may encumber the property.
RegWatch pulls DOF tax data with daily refresh and presents it alongside other property data for complete context. Each property's tax tab includes:
For tax cert firms, RegWatch's bulk analysis tools make it possible to screen hundreds of properties for tax appeal opportunities in minutes instead of days.
NYC sells tax liens on properties with outstanding balances through an annual tax lien sale. A tax lien gives the lienholder the right to collect the debt plus interest, and can eventually lead to foreclosure. Outstanding DOF balances and existing liens are critical due diligence items that RegWatch surfaces automatically in every property search.
RegWatch also provides a tax appeal generator tool for professionals who handle property tax challenges, automatically identifying properties that may be over-assessed based on comparable sales and assessment ratios.
