A 7348 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Increases the tax on deeds in the city of Mount Vernon

This bill raises Mount Vernon's deed tax rate to 1.5% on the value of real property sold or transferred within the city. It directly affects homebuyers, sellers, and property owners who complete transactions in Mount Vernon, requiring payment of the tax before deeds can be recorded. Key provisions include a $100,000 exemption on the property value (reducing the tax burden for lower-value sales) and allowing deductions for existing property liens. The tax applies to all conveyances regardless of where negotiations occur, but does not affect transactions finalized before September 1, 1984.
