The Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, has placed a lien on a condo owned by Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor and onetime attorney to Donald Trump, in Palm Beach, Florida, over unpaid taxes from 2021.
What Happened: According to Insider, the notice filed in August reveals that Giuliani owes $549,435.26 in unpaid income taxes. The condo, now deemed collateral, could be used to repay these taxes if sold.
The Palm Beach County tax assessor’s office and Zillow estimate the property’s value between $3.07 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

In response to Insider’s request for comment, Giuliani’s advisor, Ted Goodman, confirmed that “Mayor Giuliani, through his accountant, has a formal agreement with the IRS to pay off the liability.”
Beyond the lien, Giuliani faces other financial challenges. In September, law firm Davidoff Hutcher & Citron filed a lawsuit against him, claiming he owes almost $1.4 million in unpaid bills. Additionally, his Manhattan apartment, listed for sale at $6.5 million, has yet to be sold.
Giuliani’s financial woes are compounded by legal struggles, including a defamation lawsuit and multiple civil lawsuits. A legal ethics panel also recommended in July that Giuliani be disbarred.
