Taxation, costs and due diligence in Long Island (Suffolk, New York) New York mansion tax and closing costs New York levies a progressive mansion tax above US$1 million (from 1% to 3.9% in the top brackets). Add mortgage recording tax (if financing), title insurance, state transfer taxes and attorney fees — NY purchases involve lawyers on both sides. Property tax (Suffolk County) Annual property tax in Suffolk is among the highest in the country and varies widely by school district — typically 1.8% to 2.6% of value per year. It is the largest recurring cost and should be confirmed per address (and per school) before buying. School districts On Long Island, value and demand track the school district closely. Confirm which district an address belongs to — the price and liquidity gap between neighbouring schools is significant. Inspections and older homes Much of the stock is older homes; assess roof, systems, septic/sewer and any heating-oil tanks. In coastal pockets, check flood exposure (FEMA) and insurance. International buyers Foreigners may buy without restrictions. On resale, FIRPTA withholding applies (federal tax on non-resident gains); structuring and tax advice before closing are recommended.
