You can pay your property taxes online using CityPay.
How to Pay
Go to the CityPay website. Using Firefox isn't recommended because you may not be able to input all of the request information
Search for the property by using either the BBL or the address.
Amount to Pay
Decide how much you want to pay and add the selected items to cart. The full tax and agency charges due for each property are displayed, but you can make a partial payment. Enter the amount that you want to pay in the box provided.
CityPay shows the amount due as of the Friday of the week you are paying. For semi-annual payers, this amount is higher than the bill. If you pay more than you owe, you will receive a credit of the excess amount you paid. You aren’t able to pay more than your total yearly tax amount and any agency charges that are due for each property. If you try to pay more, you’ll get an error message.
Checkout
- Once the items have been added to the cart, proceed to checkout.
- Choose your payment method by selecting one of the tabs at the top of the payment details page and enter all of the required information.
- Make sure that your billing address matches the address for your credit or debit card and the Card Verification Value (CVV) is correct, or the payment won't go through.
- Review the payment information carefully before submitting. You can't cancel, change, or delay the payment once it's been submitted.
- Submit your payment.
Payment Methods
You can pay online using:
- Credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or foreign cards with CVVs)
- Debit card (Visa or MasterCard logo)
- Pre-paid or gift card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover logo)
- Electronic check
- PayPal
- Venmo
Service Fee
A 2% service fee is added for credit, debit, pre-paid or gift card, PayPal, and Venmo payments. There's no fee for payments by electronic check, but if the check bounces, you’ll be charged $20.
Proof of Payment
When you pay online and your payment goes through, you'll get a payment receipt screen, and if you provided an email address you'll also get a confirmation email. Make sure to print both for your records as proof of payment.
The payment confirmation page shows:
- Your confirmation number
- Each item you paid
- How much you paid
- A note that the service fee is non-refundable
- A note that you have received provisional credit for your payment
The confirmation email will be from noreply@finance.nyc.gov. If you don't see the email, check your Junk or Spam folder.
Credit and debit card payments over $100,000 and e-check payments over $1 million will be split into smaller amounts for processing and will appear on the statement as multiple items.
Processing and Post Date
After you complete your online transaction, you have received provisional credit for your payment. When your bank or credit union confirms the money is available, you will be given full credit for having made your payment on the date you clicked the “Process Payment” button.
Online payments are processed at 6 PM daily but may take 2 or more business days to show up in the system. After the 6 PM processing time, if you search for a bill you paid earlier the same day, an “Invoice Not Found” message will appear.
Once a payment posts, the date when you clicked the “Process Payment” button will be posted as your payment date. Payments will post within 2 or more business days.
