New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is proposing a new tax targeting wealthy owners of second homes in New York City, specifically those valued at $5 million or more, in an effort to help close a multibillion-dollar budget gap without raising broad income or corporate taxes. The plan would impose an annual surcharge—often referred to as a “pied-à-terre tax”—on non-primary residences, many of which are rarely occupied, and could generate roughly $500 million per year while affecting thousands of high-end properties. Supporters, including city officials, say it’s a fair way to make ultra-wealthy property owners contribute more, but critics in the real estate industry warn it could hurt property values, deter investment, and fail to bring in the projected revenue.
