How does buying a home in New York work tax-wise?
New York's average effective property tax rate is 1.62% of assessed value (2026), among the upper-middle range. On a $400,000 home, that translates to roughly $6,480 per year, billed by your county or municipality. Homestead exemptions, senior or veteran reductions, and assessment caps can reduce the effective rate for primary residences in many jurisdictions.
At the federal level, mortgage interest is deductible if you itemize, capped at the interest on the first $750,000 of acquisition debt (or $375,000 for married filing separately). State and local taxes (SALT), including property tax, are deductible up to a combined $40,000 cap for 2026 under OBBBA (raised from $10,000), with a 30% phase-down on MAGI above $500,000 (floor $10,000); the cap is inflation-indexed through 2029 before reverting to $10,000 in 2030. Closing costs typically run 2–5% of the loan amount; transfer taxes and recording fees vary by county.
New York also assesses state income tax, which interacts with your federal SALT deduction. Use this calculator to estimate your monthly principal, interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI) payment given your loan terms and New York's property-tax rate.

New York mortgage — frequently asked questions
What are typical New York mortgage rates and special considerations?
NY mortgage rates track national averages but NY has high closing costs: NY Mortgage Recording Tax of 0.5%-2.625% depending on locality (NYC adds significant city portion), plus title insurance, attorney fees ($1.5K-$3K — NY is one of few states requiring closing attorneys). NYC and surrounding counties often require jumbo loans (high-cost area conforming up to $1,209,750 in NYC, Long Island, Westchester). Co-op apartments (40%+ of NYC housing) have unique financing rules and board approval requirements.
What is New York's Mansion Tax?
NY State imposes a 1% Mansion Tax on residential properties priced $1,000,000 or more (paid by the buyer). NYC adds graduated additional tax: 1.0% ($1M-$2M), 1.25% ($2-$3M), 1.5% ($3-$5M), 2.25% ($5-$10M), up to 3.9% on $25M+ residences. So a $5M Manhattan condo buyer pays 1% NY Mansion + 2.25% NYC + 1.425% NYC Real Estate Transfer Tax + 0.4% NY State RETT = about 5%+ of purchase price in transfer-style taxes. Significant transaction cost.
How do NYC co-op vs condo financings differ?
Co-ops (cooperatives, where you buy shares in the building corporation rather than real estate) make up ~40% of NYC apartments. Co-op financing: typically 50%+ down payment required (some buildings 25-30%, white-glove buildings 50%+); board approval required (financial review, interview); strict subletting rules; shorter loan terms (15-20 years common). Condos: standard real estate, conventional financing as low as 10% down, no board approval, condo board has only "right of first refusal", can be financed via FHA in some buildings.
