Homeowners will soon receive their Notice of Property Value (NOPV) statements, if they haven’t already. State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) wants the public to know of the NOPV outreach events, one which will be in Queens.
On Tuesday, Feb. 8, property owners are invited to attend the NOPV Outreach Event which will take place at Queens Borough Hall, located at 120-55 Queens Blvd., from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
During the event property owners will be able to review the Department of Finance’s assessment of their properties, challenge the market or assessed value, update their property information, and apply for a property tax exemption if they are eligible. The event will include a presentation followed by breakout sessions for constituents to meet one-on-one with different units and staff from the Department of Finance, including assessors, exemptions and property staff, and the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate, as well as the New York City Tax Commission, a separate City agency.

“These events will allow property owners to question their assessment and get the up-to-date information on their property taxes and even apply for exemptions if they qualify,” Sen. Addabbo said.
“It is vital that residents are up to date on their property values and know what they owe,” Addabbo said. “These events will allow property owners to question their assessment and get the up-to-date information on their property taxes and even apply for exemptions if they qualify. In these tough economic times, saving money is paramount so I invite residents to come to this event and see if they have any questions about their NOPV statement. I would like to thank the Department of Finance, the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate, as well as the New York City Tax Commission, for hosting these important events.”
Anyone who is interested in learning more about property tax exemptions and abatements and how to apply for them should have their NOPV, a photo ID, tax returns or proof of income for all owners, DD214 or discharge papers (for veterans), and trust documents (if applicable).
