The Quarterly Conundrum
If you think paying taxes once a year is bad, try doing it four times! That's right, NYC property taxes are a quarterly affair. It's like your landlord, but with a government badge and a less charming personality.
The due dates are as follows:
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
- July 1st
- October 1st
- January 1st (Perfect timing for those New Year's resolutions to save money, right?)
- April 1st (April Fools' Day just got a whole lot less funny)
Grace Period: Your One Chance at Mercy
Now, before you start hyperventilating, there's a tiny glimmer of hope. You get a grace period! It's like a little pat on the head from the city. If you pay your taxes by the 15th of the month after the due date (so, July 15th, October 15th, etc.), you won't get slapped with interest. But let's be real, who's actually able to save up that much in a month and a half?
