A local pol is calling for the
immediate establishment of
a property tax reform commission,
one she says was already
promised to the city of New York by
Mayor Bill de Blasio during the run-up
to the 2017 election.
The goal of the commission would
be to tackle inequities in the existing
tax rates which often have city residents
owning less valuable properties
paying far more in real estate taxes
than other residents whose homes are
worth considerably more.
“It’s critical for the families in our
community that the mayor make
good on his promise of establishing a
property tax commission to develop a
more equitable system that shares the
property tax burden more fairly. In
the meantime, he should freeze or, at
a minimum, cap the property tax levy,”
said Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis
in a statement released the same
day she questioned de Blasio on the
issue in Albany before the Joint Senate
and Assembly Finance Committee.
“The levy, which the mayor and City
Council set, has increased nearly 38
percent over the past four years. This
translates to an additional $7 billion
City Hall is seeking from taxpayers.”
The politician – who herself ran
for mayor against de Blasio in 2017
and currently represents portions of
Southern Brooklyn and Staten Island
in the Assembly – cites de Blasio’s own
pledge to convene a property tax commission
to address the “inequalities” of
the current system.
Malliotakis further noted that she,
herself, lives in a part of the city where
the tax rate is 1.05 percent, forcing her
to pay $5,485 annually on her $559,000
Staten Island home whereas de Blasio
– who resides in a part of Brooklyn
with the lowest effective tax rate, 0.33
percent – paid only $3,581 on his Park
Slope home, which she says is worth
$1,688,000.
This, in part, is due to New York law,
which limits the increase in taxable
value of any property in one year to
six percent (20 percent over five years),
meaning that property taxes assessed
on individual homes don’t necessarily
accurately reflect their value, and the
owners of homes whose value has risen
fastest take the least hit, proportionately.
“It’s unsustainable and it’s driving
middle-class families out of our city,”
Malliotakis contended of the disparity
driving the need for reform, as
she urged New York City residents to
sign her online petition at http://bit.
ly/2sgKK9q.
New York City residents who follow
Malliotakis on Facebook were quick to
share their horror stories in response
to the pol's plea.
"Thank you for doing the right thing.
My property taxes are way to high
for me," wrote one user. "I will have to
move out of state when I retire."
"I am in the same boat," wrote
another. "I need to move out of New
York City when I retire. No mortgage
but taxes are a killer."
By press time, the mayor's office
had not responded to a request for
comment or more information.
