The NYC Department of Finance is continuing to refine our services to better meet the needs of New Yorkers across the 5 boroughs. Our new partnership with PayNearMe, a technology platform that facilitates cash payments makes it convenient for drivers to pay their parking ticket with cash at over 90 7-Eleven locations in New York City. A receipt with a date and time stamp from the cashier as proof of payment is provided with each transaction. Start making payments today!
Muni Meter Parking Ticket Dismissals – and Refunds
In November, the NYC Department of Finance sent two sets of letters to drivers – one was a notice of dismissal and the other included refund checks related to approximately 500,000 parking tickets that were incorrectly coded for the violation of failing to display a muni meter receipt or displaying an expired parking muni meter receipt.
To better communicate and engage with our customers, the New York City Department of Finance offers multiple channels to access our information. You may send us mail, visit any of the five Business Centers in each of the boroughs, access our mobile capabilities, and visit and connect with us on our social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Please follow us and let us know if you have questions!
SCHE and DHE application deadline in January 2018
Did you lose your Senior Citizen or Disability Homeowners’ Exemption (SCHE/DHE)? Don’t worry, there’s still time to ‘Get a Tax Break’! Thanks to the signing of Local Legislation 140 of 2017 by Mayor Bill de Blasio, the income eligibility for the Senior Citizen and Disabled Homeowner Exemption program has been raised from $37,400 to $58,399. This offers a 50% reduction in assessed value on property for those who earn up to $50,000; and a sliding scale from $50,001 to $58,399. The SCHE and DHE application deadline for 2017/18 is January 16, 2018. If you qualify, your exemption will be applied retroactively for the entire 2017/18 tax year (July 1, 2017- June 30, 2018). This benefit is for eligible seniors and people with disabilities who own one-, two-, or three-family homes, condominiums, or cooperative apartments.
Your not-for-profit organization may be eligible for a full or partial property tax exemption. To receive this benefit, the property’s legal title must be in the name of a nonprofit organization and the applicant must be the owner of the property. Federal 501(c)(3) status alone does not automatically qualify you for the exemption. To learn more, visit our new website designed just for nonprofit organizations: nyc.gov/nfp
