Contact Us - Property Refund Request

Property Refund Request

Please complete this form to request a refund of property taxes or other property-related charges. If you would like to transfer credits to another property that you own, do not complete this form. Instead, send a message to Finance or fax your transfer request to the Property and Parking Refunds Unit at 212-232-1891.

In general, property tax credits are automatically applied to taxes for the next tax period. However, please note that tax credits related to assessment changes are not applied to taxes unless authorized by the attorney who helped bring about the successful appeal. When that happens, the refund check is made payable to the property owner (or to the condominium for buildings with multiple lots) but mailed to the attorney responsible for the appeal.

E-mail Finance regarding the status of a previously submitted refund request
