NYC Department of Finance defines four property tax classes: Class 1 (most residential up to three units and most small condos), Class 2 (other primarily residential property including rentals, co-ops, and condos, with subclasses), Class 3 (most utility property), and Class 4 (commercial and industrial). Tax class determines valuation methods, assessment rules, and the tax rate applied.
