Non-primary residence surcharge


New York City has a new annual surcharge on certain properties, sometimes referred to as “pieds-a-terre," that are not used as the owner’s primary residence.

Your property will not be subject to the surcharge if it is the primary residence of any of the following:


  • The owner of the property.
  • A tenant or subtenant.
  • One or more individuals who collectively hold a majority interest in the LLC, corporation, or partnership that owns the property.
  • An immediate family member of the owner or majority interest holder.
  • The sole beneficiary of a trust.

You will need an NYC.ID account to access the system. If you do not have an account, you can create one for free.
