What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

On October 28, 2026, the New York Supreme Court of Appeals heard arguments concerning the pied-à-terre tax, an annual surcharge on luxury, non-primary residential properties. Although the tax is signed into state law, a State Island judge ordered the City of New York to restart its process for determining who must pay the tax, citing issues with accuracy. The City of New York has filed an appeal, and it remains uncertain if the city can execute oversight before tax bills are issued in November.
