Mamdani Administration Begins Notifying Property Owners About New Non-Primary Residence Tax

The city estimates 13,500 properties will be affected, and officials say the surcharge could raise $1 billion a year for public services.

  • On Thursday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration began mailing notification letters to owners of luxury second homes, initiating implementation of the new pied-à-terre tax.
  • Targeting properties valued above $5 million, the annual surcharge applies to one- to three-family homes, condominiums, and co-ops when owners maintain a separate primary residence outside New York City.
  • City Comptroller Mark Levine's office estimates 13,500 properties will be impacted, with officials projecting the surcharge will generate $1 billion annually to fund parks, libraries, and schools.
  • Finance Commissioner Richard Lee said the department is implementing the surcharge "fairly and efficiently," while officials added 24 new jobs to manage the process and handle appeals through an online portal.
