Q&A

Council Member Brewer on pied-a-terre revenue projections and property count

New York City Council · Jun 9, 2026 · starts 1:03:51 · 53 sec

Brewer asks how much the pied-a-terre surcharge will raise and how many properties it impacts. Commissioner Lee confirms confidence in the $500 million target, affecting approximately 8,000 properties, with adjustments possible as DOF verifies residences through the engagement process.

Linda Lee

Just one last question on the Pieda tier.

Linda Lee

So now that we have the true outline of the new tax, can you tell us how much money that you think it'll raise next year?

Linda Lee

We're confident they will meet the $500 million target as outlined in the executive budget.

Linda Lee

Okay.

Linda Lee

More or less, but right around $500 million?

Linda Lee

We're confident on the $500 million.

Linda Lee

Okay.

Linda Lee

And how many properties will this impact?

Linda Lee

It's going to impact about 8,000 properties.

Linda Lee

8,000, okay.

Linda Lee

And how confident are you that these numbers will be the final numbers?

Linda Lee

So we're confident in our analysis, but with that said, we're going to start the engagement process with the owners to verify their residences and make any other adjustments as per the legislation.

Linda Lee

Our models right now do account for some of these, but

Linda Lee

There might be some changes here and there as we go through the process.

Linda Lee

Okay, perfect.
