GENERAL INFORMATION AND FILING REQUIREMENTS
Clear Form
1. Application
For purposes of exemptions granted pursuant to section 420-b of the Real Property Tax Law, each year
following the year in which exemption is granted on the basis of application forms RP-420-b-Org and RP-420-a/b-
Use, a renewal application must be filed. One copy of RP-420-a/b-Rnw-I must be filed in each assessing unit; one
copy of RP-420-a/b-Rnw-II must be filed in each assessing unit for each separately assessed parcel for which
exemption renewal is sought. The assessor may request information in addition to the information contained in the
application.
For purposes of exemptions granted pursuant to section 420-a of the Real Property Tax Law, the same
forms may be used (except RP-420-a-Org replaces RP-420-b-Org). In the alternative, the owner may submit proof
of continued exempt status to the assessor in whatever form is mutually acceptable.
2. Place of filing application
Application for exemption from city, town, or village taxes must be filed with the city, town, or village
assessor. Application for exemption from county or school district taxes must be filed with the city or town
assessor who prepares the assessment roll used in levying county or school taxes. In Nassau County, applications
must be filed with the Nassau County Board of Assessors. In Tompkins County, applications must be filed with
the Tompkins County Division of Assessment. Do not file with the Office of Real Property Tax Services.
3. Time of filing application
The application must be filed in the assessor’s office on or before the appropriate taxable status date. In
towns preparing their assessment roll in accordance with the schedule provided by the Real Property Tax Law, the
taxable status is March 1. In towns in Nassau County, the taxable status date is January 2. Westchester County
towns have either a May 1 or June 1 taxable status date; contact the assessor. In villages and cities, the taxable
status dates vary, and the appropriate assessor should be consulted for the correct date.
