The island of Roads began a new round of discussions in warm debates for housing in America after he established a new annual fee for the exact second house, which quickly took the nickname “Taylor Swift”.
The idea is simple: ask for the richest, unstable owners to make a greater contribution and use money to support the housing of others. The measure is part of the state budget for 2026.
Since July 2026, the property does not belong to the island of more than $ 1 million (853 thousand euros) will encounter an additional burden of $ 2.50 per year (2.13 euros) for every $ 500 (426 euros) for the amount of more than the first millions.
In other words, the house on the beach worth 2 million dollars. The United States (1.7 million euros) will be required to be about $ 5,000 (4,266 euros) per year. The threshold will be adapted to inflation to the middle of -2027, and there is a wonderful exception – at home rented for more than six months, or 183 days, avoid contribution.
This impetus is deliberate. That is, if you continue the light, they will give you – and now the initiative of the island of the Rod -Sostrova has responded to the rest of the United States.
Ta-Tai for goals?
The tax has the nickname “Taylor Swift Tax” because Taylor Swift He has a very loud seaside villa on Hame Hill in the Home -Alend, and the new contribution is aimed at expensive second houses, such as his own.
The abbreviation of local media was stuck as this proposal received positions, although it refers to all luxurious second houses -and not just quickly.
Other US states are testing water
The island of Roads is not the only thing that checks the new tax policy. Montana will also reconstruct Real estate taxes In a sense, it will have more weight for the second house and by 2026.
In the Cape Copta Massachusetts, one of the most famous second market in the United States – local leaders are considering the possibility of introducing a regional fee for transferring high quality, and income is placed.
Although the tools differ, the goal will be the same – an increase in income and prevent areas that “turn off the light”. Supporters claim that this is aimed at wealth committed in luxurious apartments without increasing taxes in local families.
Critics, including real estate agents, warn that this can freeze the top of the market, and seasonal residents who spend a lot of money. If buyers of high value stop the market or maintenance Second houses Their restaurants, merchants and local shops in cities could feel the first.
For owners and novice buyers of expensive cottages, the cost of real estate storage in popular areas of the United States should increase. For local councils and states that are pressure on the fight against an economic tool, “mansions” or second home taxes become a politically convenient tool.
The next test will be whether the income is the same anticipated – and whether the highest contribution will change the behavior, putting forward more luxurious houses in rental purchases all year round or simply push buyers with a large pocket looking for in another place.
