Is This Your Home?
If the owner lives here as a primary residence, file the residence-benefit paperwork with DOF before notices go out. If not, the figure above is the estimated yearly cost. It's billed on top of the existing property tax.

What Happens Next
Jul 1, 2026Tax begins
The surcharge starts. It applies to the tax year beginning on this date.
~Aug 30, 2026·The day to watch
DOF is expected to notify owners whose records show possible exposure. This is when you'd find out.
Contest window
Owners can document residence status with DOF and contest before bills are sent.
~Nov 2026First bill
First quarterly bills land for owners without a residence benefit on file.
Every quarter after
The surcharge recurs every quarter (Feb · May · Aug · Nov) for as long as the unit isn't a primary residence. Ongoing, not a one-time charge.
Methodology. We read NYC's published assessments and the residence benefits on file with DOF. We don't see leases, in-person occupancy, or out-of-state residence records. The city issues the determination. This card shows what the public record says.
