Owner-first property intelligence

Think you're overpaying on property taxes?

Run a structured first screen before paying for professional review. BRIC compares the City's assessment threshold with documented income evidence, or comparable sales for Class 1, and shows the apparent opportunity, evidence gaps, and a conditional current-year tax scenario where the inputs support one.

Find your property

Property address

Building & tax class

Tax class loads automatically from NYC assessment records after an exact address match. You can correct it using your Notice of Property Value (NOPV). Unit count alone does not establish tax classification.

Total units

Gross building SF

Tax class

Enter your address to load the recorded tax class.

From your Notice of Property Value (NOPV)

Mailed by DOF each January; also at nyc.gov/finance. These are the numbers a tax-cert professional starts from.

City's market value

Effective market value (if shown on NOPV)

When the NOPV shows an effective market value, that may be the value the owner must beat, not simply the City's stated market value.

Actual assessed value

Transitional AV (if shown)

Same-year annual tax (if known)

DOF cap rate (if shown)

Check your NOPV and DOF property valuation records for the income, expense and capitalization assumptions available for your building. Entering DOF's cap rate supports a scenario only when its valuation basis and tax convention are confirmed.

Assessment tax year

Financial reporting period

I confirmed the parcel, tax class and figures against the same-year NOPV.

Income basis

Vacancy is deducted only from scheduled revenue. Do not deduct it twice from collected revenue.

The entered cap rate applies to market value and income before property tax.

Copy the rate and convention from a supported property-specific calculation. Rates applied to assessed value cannot be used interchangeably.

Tax-scenario evidence

Same-year tax rate for this class (%)

Rates change every fiscal year. This loads FY2026's published rate; FY2027's rates, set in June 2026, are provisional. Your bill shows the rate that applies.

Exemptions / abatements

Transitional AV is entered, or the NOPV confirms it is not applicable.

Income and expenses are supported by actual records, with capital work, debt, depreciation and property tax excluded from operating expenses.

Tax history & outlook

Start with ten years of history, or expand the view to twenty years or all available records. Keep historical context separate from the one- to ten-year planning outlook.

Property tax history

See how your annual taxes have changed. Open yearly details to review sources or add a bill total.

Open official tax bills

Select an NYC address so BRIC can identify the parcel.

Planning projection

Assessment growth and tax-rate changes are separate assumptions. Class 1 and small Class 2 caps are applied; large Class 2 and Class 4 use a simplified five-year transition model.

Outlook 10 years

Annual assessment growth (%)

Annual tax-rate change (%)

Account for an expiring tax benefit

If the latest annual bill shows a tax benefit, enter the annual reduction and its last fiscal year. Check the benefit schedule on the bill; phased benefits may require a specialist model.

Annual tax reduction shown on bill ($)

Last benefit year (FY ends in)

This planning scenario holds the entered annual reduction flat through that year and removes it the following year. It is not an automatic 421-a schedule or an estimate of bill credits.

Defaults are planning assumptions, not a City forecast. Physical changes, reassessments, tax-class shifts and future legislation can materially change actual taxes.

Your operating evidence

Use a dated operating statement. A difference from city assumptions is a screening signal, not proof of overassessment.

Annual income

Vacancy & collection loss

Annual operating expenses

DOF and the Tax Commission capitalize net income before real-estate tax (the tax burden is built into the cap rate), so exclude property tax, mortgage, and depreciation here.

Build or review operating expenses

Expense evidence

Use actual, dated records whenever available. Planning benchmarks are editable but cannot satisfy the evidence requirement.

RPIE status

RPIE obligations depend on property use, assessment and exclusions. Confirm required filings or exclusion claims with DOF; RPIE and appeal deadlines are separate.
