NYC RPIE Filings for Income-Producing Properties
The Real Property Income and Expense statement, commonly called RPIE, is an annual NYC Department of Finance filing used to collect income and expense information from qualifying income-producing properties. DOF uses the reported information as part of its valuation work for the following tax year, so the filing is directly connected to the property assessment process.
RPIE is not required for every property. Filing obligations depend on the property type, actual assessed value, income-producing status, exclusions allowed by law, and other filing categories. Required filers who miss the filing or submit incomplete information can face penalties and other consequences.
For the full NYC DOF service hierarchy, return to NYC DOF Property Tax and Property Services. Storefront owners should also review NYC Storefront Registry because the storefront filing requirement can apply even when the owner has a separate RPIE exclusion.
SLK Buildings assists property owners, boards, managing agents, business operators, developers, and project teams with NYC Department of Finance property assessments, tax bills and payments, RPIE and Storefront Registry filings, tax exemptions and abatements, ICAP, ACRIS records, tax maps, tax lot changes, and property debt matters.
Who Is Generally Required to File RPIE
DOF currently states that owners of income-producing properties with an actual assessed value greater than $40,000 on the tentative assessment roll generally must file an RPIE statement or a valid claim of exclusion unless another rule applies. Utility-related property has a separate REUC-RPIE filing path.
- Income-producing status ~ confirm how the property was used and whether income was generated during the reporting period.
- Actual assessed value ~ review the tentative assessment roll because the filing threshold is based on the property record used by DOF.
- Claim of exclusion ~ some owners may qualify for an exclusion, but the exclusion must be supported by the applicable rule rather than assumed.
- Special property types ~ hotels, adult care facilities, gas stations, self-storage facilities, theaters, and other categories can have specialized worksheets or instructions.
- Utility property ~ utility-related property and equipment follow the REUC-RPIE process rather than the ordinary RPIE filing path.
What Information the RPIE Filing Covers
The filing reports property income and operating expense information for the applicable reporting period. The specific fields depend on the property and filing form, but the purpose is to give DOF a consistent record that can be used in the valuation of income-producing real estate.
- Property and ownership information, including the correct BBL and filer details.
- Rental and other income information for the reporting period.
- Operating expenses and other property-level financial information requested by DOF.
- Occupancy and rent information where the filing form requires it.
- Rent roll addendum information for RPIE filers whose properties meet the current DOF assessed-value threshold for the addendum.
- Storefront information when a separate Storefront Registry filing is required.
Current Filing Cycle, SmartFile, and Amendments
DOF filings are annual and report information for the prior reporting year. For example, RPIE-2025 was filed in 2026, with a June 1, 2026 electronic filing deadline. Because the filing period and dates change each year, owners should verify the current DOF calendar instead of reusing an older deadline.
- Electronic filing ~ current RPIE filings are completed through the DOF SmartFile system using an NYC.ID account.
- Amendments ~ the filer can return to the system to complete or amend a filing, subject to the current filing status and agency rules.
- Paper-filing waiver ~ qualifying senior or disabled filers may use the current DOF waiver process when permitted.
- Records ~ keep the submitted filing, confirmation, worksheets, supporting financial records, and any later amended version for future assessment review.
How SLK Buildings Helps
- Confirm the property BBL, assessed value, tax class, RPIE filing category, and whether a claimed exclusion appears applicable to the property record.
- Coordinate filing worksheets, ownership information, property data, rent roll material, storefront information, and supporting records with the owner and accounting or management team.
- Organize SmartFile access, filing status, confirmations, amendments, and agency correspondence within the agreed service scope.
- Compare RPIE property information with the NOPV, tax bill, ACRIS, DOB, leasing, or project records when inconsistencies could affect valuation or another filing.
- Coordinate related Storefront Registry, assessment, exemption, abatement, or property-tax account issues when they intersect with the RPIE record.
Important RPIE Coordination Issues
- The RPIE deadline is annual and should be verified for the current filing year rather than copied from a prior filing cycle.
- A property can be required to file Storefront Registry information even when an RPIE exclusion applies, so the two requirements should be checked separately.
- The rent roll addendum threshold and filing forms can change; owners should use the current DOF instructions for the reporting year.
- Required filers who fail to file can face penalties based on the property record and current rules.
- Income and expense figures should be coordinated with the property owner, accountant, manager, or other responsible professional rather than estimated merely to complete the filing.

🚧 Seeking Professional Guidance on NYC Department of Finance Property Tax, Assessments, Filings, and Property Records
NYC Department of Finance (DOF) requirements can affect property owners, boards, managing agents, developers, business operators, and project teams when a property assessment, tax account, annual filing, tax benefit, land record, tax map, or property debt issue needs to be reviewed or coordinated. DOF values and assesses real property, bills and collects property taxes, administers many exemptions and abatements, maintains City Register records and ACRIS, and manages tax-map and tax-lot records.
Before relying on a DOF record or filing path, owners and project teams should confirm the property tax class, market and assessed values, taxable value, current tax-account status, exemptions or abatements, required annual filings, ownership and deed records, BBL information, tax-lot configuration, and any related DOB, HPD, DEP, OATH, or other agency conditions.
