What is a Borough Park home worth in 2026?

PropertyShark reports a Borough Park median sale price of $1,652,500 for Q3 2026, up 65.4% from $999,000 in Q3 2025, on 56 sales, down from 85. The jump is a mix effect and not appreciation: the property-type table shows 35 house sales at a $2.2 million median, 17 condo sales at $980,000 and 4 co-op sales at $449,000. A grievance should be argued on comparable sales of the same property type, not on the blended median.

When is the deadline to appeal a Borough Park property tax assessment?

The NYC Tax Commission deadline for the 2026/27 tax year was 5:00 p.m. on March 16, 2026 for Class 1 (one-to-three family homes) and March 2, 2026 for Class 2, 3 and 4 (including co-ops and condos), and the Commission states that late applications are void. The 2027/28 dates have not been published, so an owner who wants to file next year should watch the Department of Finance calendar for early-to-mid March. The Department of Finance published the FY27 tentative roll on January 15, 2026, with Brooklyn Class 1 market value up 6.2%, the largest increase of any borough.

Does it cost money to appeal a property tax assessment in Borough Park?

Filing with the NYC Tax Commission is free unless the assessed value on the 2026/27 Notice of Property Value is $2 million or more, in which case a $175 fee applies and is added to the tax bill. Class 1 assessments are also capped by law at 6% per year and 20% over five years, so a Borough Park homeowner on a capped assessment often has a smaller grievance than the market value suggests. The Class 1 tax rate is 19.843% of assessed value, per the Department of Finance rate page for tax year 2026.

What kind of properties does Borough Park have?

PropertyShark lists 14,463 residential units in Borough Park: 8,260 two-to-four family, 4,022 condos, 1,652 single-family, 500 co-ops and 27 townhouses. Two-to-four family buildings are about 57% of the stock, based on those counts, and only one-to-three family homes are Class 1, so a four-family building is assessed in a different class than a two-family house next door.
