Announcements for Civil Service examinations are publicized on the City of New Rochelle website and cable and FIOS channels. Printed copies are also available in the Civil Service office and all public buildings.
Not all examinations are held on an annual basis. Examinations are prepared and scheduled by the New York State Civil Service Commission. The Civil Service Department requests examinations be scheduled based on the number of positions, the length of the current eligible list, the age of the list, and the turnover of employees within the title.
Eligible lists are valid for a minimum period of 1 year from the date of establishment and up to 4 years at the discretion of the Civil Service Commission.
There is a $30 processing fee for each Civil Service examination. This fee is non-refundable. Send or bring check or money order payable to the City of New Rochelle along with a completed Civil Service Employment Application to:
