Mamdani Extends Deadline to Appeal NYC’s New Pied-À-Terre Tax Following Backlash

EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: “Yes, we have extended the the deadline to September 18th. And the point of this period of time is precisely so that New Yorkers, the 17,000 homeowners who received the you may be subject to letters, have all the information they need, and also have the time to be able to inquire with any questions as well as appeal any assessment of their property as being one that would receive the surcharge. Again, this is a surcharge for secondary homes of non-resident New Yorkers that are worth more than $5 million. We've also made the decision to hire 24 additional civil servants across multiple city agencies precisely to be engaging with New Yorkers on this question. Again, if a New Yorker does not appeal this by September 18th, they still have until March to appeal this to the Tax Commission before this tax is actually levied."
