A New York appeals court ruled Wednesday that New York City can move forward with a new tax targeting second homes valued at $5 million or more, overturning a lower court ruling that had blocked its implementation.

Opponents argue the tax unfairly targets nonresident homeowners, and additional legal challenges remain pending.
