Well, the assessment in NYC, unlike other places is actually pretty predictable and transparent, but not simple.
If you are Class 1, it is 6% of FMV
If you are Class 2+ it is 45% of FMV

- bradleyjg 10y agoExcept the FMV of condo and condominium units aren't actually fair market values. Instead they are based on a model designed to figure out what income the building would produce if it were a rental building. And that's before taking abatements into account. The system overall is not very transparent.
- me2i81 10y agoRight, so you get an effective rate of 1.2% of FMV for class 1, 5.8% of FMV for class 2. So the rate is just a bit higher than California for class 1, which might explain why brownstones are so expensive in NYC relative to larger buildings.
