This web application shows your New York City Property Tax history and the change in market value, assessed value and the assessment ratio.  Each of these values are dictated by our 1980's law.  See https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/RPT/1805

When the change by our New York City Department of Finance varies from the law it is highlighted.  The variation maybe caused by repairs or changes to your property.

This is a class 4 property that changes to a class 1B property

This highlights the variation from the law.

Check your own property or your neighbors.

We will add a tax prediction next.  Basically, your tax will increase by 20% every five years for Class 1 (1 to 3 Family Residential homes) and 30% every five years for other properties.
