City Department of Finance Commissioner Preston Niblack on Tuesday announced the publication of the tentative property tax assessment roll for Fiscal Year 2024. The DOF is required to determine market and assessed values for all properties in the five boroughs annually and issue a tentative property tax assessment roll each year on Jan. 15.
The tentative assessment roll for FY24 shows the total market value of all New York City properties is $1.479 trillion, a 6.1 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2023. Property values for FY24 reflect real estate activity between Jan. 6, 2022, to Jan. 5, 2023, the taxable status date. Citywide taxable billable assessed value, the portion of market value to which tax rates are applied, increased by 4.4 percent to $286.8 billion.
The tentative roll shows stable citywide construction activity with $8.8 billion in new market value. Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens accounted for 80 percent of overall construction activity in the City, while The Bronx registered the highest percent increase in construction activity among the boroughs at 1.6 percent.
