Due dates
When your taxes are due.
NYC property tax bills are due on a schedule set by assessed value, not property class.
| Assessed value | Payments | Due dates | Interest-free grace period ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| $250,000 or less | Quarterly | July 1, October 1, January 1, April 1 | July 15, October 15, January 15, April 15 |
| Above $250,000 | Semi-annual | July 1 and January 1 | No grace period listed |
If a due date or grace period end falls on a weekend or federal holiday, payment is due the next business day.
How it works
Bills, interest and discounts.
- Bills are generally mailed and posted online about a month before taxes are due.
- You’re responsible for paying on time even if you don’t receive a bill, so keep your address current with the Department of Finance.
- Quarterly payers who pay by the grace period date pay no interest.
- A late payment is charged interest from the original due date, and interest compounds daily.
- For mailed payments, the postmark date counts as the payment date.
| Paid by | Quarters paid early | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| July 15 | 3 | 0.50% |
| October 15 | 2 | 0.33% |
| January 15 | 1 | 0.17% |
Semi-annual payers receive the 0.50% discount if the full year’s tax is paid by July 1.

Frequently asked.
Do I still owe tax if I never got a bill?
Yes. Owners are responsible for paying on time even without a bill, so keep your mailing address current.
How is late interest calculated?
It runs from the original due date and compounds daily, so later payments cost more.
Is a tax lien the same as a DOB violation?
No. Taxes are handled by the Department of Finance. DOB violations and OATH penalties are separate records, though unpaid penalties can also lead to liens or judgments.
