Estimates are the taxable value after exemptions times the Class 4 rate of 10.848% (tax year 2025/26, the latest the city lists), divided by the building's floor area in PLUTO. They leave out abatements such as ICAP, payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements and charges, so actual bills differ. Large buildings only (35,000 SF and up in Brooklyn).
