2026 fiscal calendar
Know the tax date before it becomes a penalty date.
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The verified record below separates published figures from dates that require confirmation with New York City Department of Finance — Richmond County/Staten Island.
Effective rate
NYC property-tax rates vary by tax class; no single countywide 2026 effective rate applies.
Statement mailing
Property-tax bills are generally mailed and posted about one month before the due date; 2026–2027 bills follow the quarterly or semiannual NYC cycle.
Payment deadline
2026–2027: quarterly bills are due July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1 for properties with assessed value $250,000 or less; semiannual bills are due July 1 and January 1 above $250,000.
Valuation protest
March 1, 2026 for Tax Classes 2, 3, and 4; March 15, 2026 for Tax Class 1 valuation claims with the NYC Tax Commission; revised notices may have a 20-day deadline.
Critical payment warning
Do not assume a grace period.
The verified county record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat the published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
Read the calendar in order
From assessment to collection
1. Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
2. Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
3. Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
