§ 11-129 Department of finance statement of account.
   a.   At intervals determined by the commissioner of finance, the department of finance shall send to owners of real property a statement of account for the property, which shall represent a bill for taxes, charges and assessments, and which shall include, in a manner determined by the commissioner, a description of taxes, charges and assessments that remain unpaid on the property, and payments received by the department for taxes, charges and assessments on the property, and which may include additional information as the commissioner deems appropriate. In any statement of account representing a bill for real property taxes due on July 1, when the amount of taxes due is based on a calculation using the tax rate for the prior fiscal year, the department shall include a notice that the taxes due are subject to adjustment upon the adoption of the tax rate for the new fiscal year, and that a subsequent bill issued during the course of the tax year may reflect the adjusted amount of tax due and the new tax rate.
   b.   The statement of account shall be sent to owners who notified the department of a mailing address for such statements, or, if no mailing address has been so provided, to the owner of record at the property address appearing on the assessment roll.
   c.   Notwithstanding subdivision b of this section, in lieu of mailing the statement of account, the department may send the statement of account by electronic means to any owner whose electronic mailing address is known to the department.
   d.   The department shall establish and maintain a system to contact owners by electronic-mail and provide access electronically to a receipt for, and information on, each payment made for charges on a statement of account. The department shall notify owners of the availability of such system on the statement of account and shall solicit the submission of an email address at the time of payment. Such receipt shall include the property address, borough, block and lot number, the amount paid, and the date the payment was received, and may include additional information as the commissioner of finance deems appropriate. Such system shall also provide information on how the amount paid was applied toward the tax, charge or assessment on the statement of account. The city shall not be liable for any damages as a result of failure to provide access to a receipt, nor shall any cause of action arise from such failure.
