Both the NYC Mansion Tax for buyers and the NYS Transfer Tax rates for sellers were increased in April 2019 as a result of tax law changes enacted as part of the New York State 2020 Fiscal Year Budget. There were no changes made to the NYC Transfer Tax rates as part of this legislation.
The original Mansion Tax in effect from 1989 to mid-2019 was a fixed 1% of the purchase price for all residential sales of $1 million or more. The new Mansion Tax enacted in April 2019 consists of 8 tax brackets ranging from 1% to 3.9%. The lowest rate of 1% applies to sales from $1 million and below $2 million. The highest rate of 3.9% applies to sales of $25 million or more.
The NYS Transfer Tax was previously a fixed 0.4% of the sale price. As part of the 2019 update, a higher tax bracket of 0.65% was created for sale prices of $3 million or more. The higher 0.65% tax bracket was also adopted for commercial transactions, however it kicks in starting at $2 million as opposed to higher $3 million threshold for residential deals.

What Are the Updated NYC Mansion Tax Rates for NYC?
The revised NYC Mansion Tax Rates effective April 2019 are as follows:
? 1% for sales from $1 million to less than $2 million
? 1.25% for sales from $2 million to less than $3 million
? 1.5% for sales from $3 million to less than $5 million
? 2.25% for sales from $5 million to less than $10 million
? 3.25% for sales from $10 million to less than $15 million
? 3.5% for sales from $15 million to less than $20 million
? 3.75% for sales from $20 million to less than $25 million
? 3.9% for sales from $25 million or more
It’s important to note that the designated Mansion Tax rate for each purchase price bracket applies to the full purchase price of the property. For example, the 1.25% rate on purchases of $2 million and below $3 million applies to the full purchase price. If the purchase price is $2.5 million, the Mansion Tax would be 1.25% of $2.5 million, or $31,250.
Technically speaking, the modification to New York Tax Law kept the original 1% Mansion tax in place while adding an additional surcharge tax for sale prices of $2 million or more as part of a new section of the New York Tax Law - §1402-b.
