The NYC Department of Finance requires certain owners of residential properties to file the Real Property Income & Expense Statement (RPIE) every year. The DOF uses the information from this filing to value your property accurately for the upcoming tax year. If you miss the filing deadline, the penalty is up to 5 percent of your property’s actual assessed value.
