Assessment and valuation forms

Property owners have the right to challenge the Department of Finance’s assessments and correct inaccurate information related to their properties. The following forms are available for this purpose:

Request for Review (RFR): Submit this form to request a reassessment of your property’s market value based on factors such as financial data, comparable sales, building use or classification, physical development, or structural features.

Request to Update (RTU): Use this form to update descriptive property data or correct information listed on your most recent Notice of Property Value (NOPV).

Request for Administrative Review (Clerical Error Remission): This form is used to correct errors in your property assessment or property tax. Please note this form cannot be used to challenge your property’s market valuation.

After submitting your application, you will receive a notification with the Department of Finance's decision. To receive a faster response, we strongly encourage filing your application online.

Request for Review:

The Request for Review (RFR) application allows NYC property owners to challenge their estimated market values as of January 5, which is the taxable status date. Please note that any events occurring after January 5, 2025, cannot be used as a basis for filing an RFR application for the 2025-26 tax year. RFR deadlines:

This form allows you to address inaccuracies related to property characteristics, classification, or other details to ensure the accuracy of your property assessment.

Key filing periods and impact on rolls

Request for Administrative Review (Clerical Error Remission):

Use the Administrative Review (Clerical Error Remission) application to correct clerical errors or inaccuracies in your property’s assessment or tax. This form cannot be used to challenge your property’s market value.

Eligible errors include:

Clerical errors (such as transcription or computational mistakes that are ministerial in nature)

Factual mistakes that can be unambiguously resolved by references to documents or information created by a City agency as of the taxable status date of the applicable tax year

This form cannot be used for overvaluation or valuation method disputes.

The Department of Finance will only correct eligible errors that occurred during the tax year in which an application for correction of errors was submitted, the two directly preceding tax years, or any combination of such tax years.
