State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) is set to partner with the City Department of Finance to promote the agency’s Notice of Property Value virtual outreach session next week, the senator noted on Tuesday.
On Thursday, Feb. 24, at 4p.m., residents can log on to the designated site for an information session presented by representatives from DOF regarding the Notice of Property Value statement.
Participants at the NOPV event will learn:
- About their market and assessed values;
- How their taxes are calculated;
- How to change their property’s description; and
- How to save with property tax exemptions and abatements.
“Many residents have questions regarding their property values this time of year,” Addabbo said. “It is vital that homeowners are up to date on their property values so they know what they owe. I want to thank the Department of Finance for their continued partnership and helping my constituents and residents across the city, especially during these tough times.”
This will be an informational session. The sessions are designed to provide constituents with resources and tools they need to submit inquiries and proactively research their property value and tax concerns. Only those who attend these virtual information sessions will have the ability to contact DOF for a follow up session where they can discuss their personal matters related to their NPOV statement.
“At the Department of Finance, we always want to ensure that our customers have a clear and accurate understanding of their property tax bills,” said DOF Commissioner Preston Niblack. “Partnering with local elected officials for outreach sessions like these allows us to do that, and to make ourselves available to taxpayers.”
