After more than a year of frustrated efforts in the state court system, Tax Equity Now New York’s latest attempt at property tax reform is an appeal to the federal government.
In a letter sent Thursday, the coalition implored the Department of Justice to challenge the city’s tax structure under the Fair Housing Act.
The plea comes eight months after the New York Court of Appeals tossed out a TENNY suit challenging the constitutionality of the city’s property tax laws, citing a lack of a “substantial constitutional question.”
In a letter sent to the U.S. Justice Department and the city’s Congressional delegation last week, Tax Equity Now New York is demanding that the federal government address “the inequitable and discriminatory impact of the city’s property system.”
