Albany, Albany County, New York
Property Tax Rate
2.76% of full value a year
The State's published 2024 rates: $27.59 per $1,000 of full value (county and city $11.37, the rest the school district). On a home with a full value of $400,000 that is about $11,036 a year.
Full value is the assessed value divided by the city's equalization rate — the State's estimate of market value. A sale does not reassess a New York home: the bill follows the current assessment until the city revalues (it reports its next reassessment as 2026). Village, fire and other special-district charges, and any exemption the seller holds, are not in this figure; a full report estimates a specific address's bill.
