Local office directory

Find the local office that handles the job.

New York can put the place name, mailing address, and responsible government on three different lines. Start with the place, then choose the record, permit, assessment, or bill you have in hand.

Keep the layers straight

One address can have more than one local counter.

Cities and towns usually own the everyday assessment, clerk, building, and tax-collection routes outside New York City.

Villages sit inside towns and can add their own clerk, permits, taxes, roads, or services. The finder gives direct buttons only when every relevant municipal layer in its route set has been reviewed.

Census places and hamlet names are community geography, not separate governments. Match the street address to the serving city or town before relying on a form, fee, or deadline.

New York City uses citywide agencies and its own property-tax, building, and City Clerk systems across all five boroughs.

A directory route is a starting point, not a deadline extension.

Confirm the current form, fee, appointment, office hours, service area, and filing deadline on the official page. For property work, keep the parcel address and tax-map or borough-block-lot number beside the answer.
