(2/5/18) Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis Discusses Property Taxes with Mayor de Blasio

Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis holds Mayor de Blasio’s feet to the fire regarding New York City's inequitable property tax system as he testified today before the Joint Senate and Assembly Finance Committee on February 5, 2018.

During the 2017 mayoral election, de Blasio pledged to convene a property tax commission to address the inequalities of the current system. Malliotakis has repeatedly pointed out how the City Council district she resides in has the highest effective tax rate in the City at 1.05%, while Mayor de Blasio’s Council district pays the least at 0.33%. This is why Malliotakis’ 2017 property tax bill on her $559,000 Staten Island home was $5,485 while Mayor de Blasio paid $3,581 in property taxes on his $1,688,000 home in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
