Is your apartment affected by the NYC pied-à-terre surcharge?
New York City applies a surcharge to non-primary residences (“pied-à-terres”) with a market value at or above $1,000,000. Select your building and apartment below to see its market value and whether it has been identified. This tool is provided by Halstead Management for residents and owners of Halstead-managed buildings, for informational purposes only — it is not a bill and does not determine your liability.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pied-à-terre surcharge?
It is a New York City surcharge on residential units that are not the owner’s primary residence and have a market value at or above $1,000,000. The surcharge is an additional annual amount tied to the unit’s value. Units used as a primary residence are not subject to it, regardless of value.
How do I know if my unit is affected?
Use Check A Unit above. Pick your building and apartment, and the result shows the unit’s TY2027 market value and one of three statuses.
What do the three results mean?
RED At or above $1,000,000 and identified by the NYC Department of Finance as potentially subject to the surcharge.
ORANGE Estimated at or above $1,000,000, but not currently on the DOF’s list. Shown for awareness; status may change as DOF updates its records.
GREEN Below $1,000,000 — no pied-à-terre surcharge applies.
ORANGE Estimated at or above $1,000,000, but not currently on the DOF’s list. Shown for awareness; status may change as DOF updates its records.
GREEN Below $1,000,000 — no pied-à-terre surcharge applies.
Is the estimated surcharge a bill?
No. Any figure shown is an estimate (the applicable tier rate × the unit’s market value) and applies only if the unit is a non-primary residence. Your actual liability is determined solely by the NYC Department of Finance based on assessed value and residency status.
My unit is my primary residence — does this apply to me?
The surcharge applies only to non-primary residences. If the apartment is your primary residence, the surcharge does not apply even if the value is over $1,000,000. If DOF has identified your unit and it is your primary residence, you may need to file to confirm that status — see the resources below.
Where do the values come from?
Condominium values are the NYC DOF per-unit market values. Co-op unit values are estimates based on each unit’s share allocation, rescaled to the building’s DOF roll market value. All figures reflect the TY2027 assessment roll.
What should I do if my unit is identified?
Review the official NYC Department of Finance information and, if applicable, file the appropriate form using the links below. Co-op shareholders and condominium unit owners file different forms. If you have questions about your building, contact your Halstead property manager.
