How Much Unit Owners Can Save

$50,001 – $55,00025.2%

Eligibility:

  • The unit is your primary residence.
  • You do not own more than three residential units in any one development.
  • You have filed a real property transfer tax form or deed with the Division of Land Records at www.nyc.gov/acris. (This requirement applies to condominiums. The filing is generally done at the time of purchase, often by a title company or attorney on your behalf.)
  • You are not receiving the clergy property tax exemption.
  • The unit is not owned by a business, such as an LLC, or held by a sponsor or their successors in interest.

You must have purchased your unit on or before January 5 to qualify for the abatement for the upcoming tax year, which begins on July 1.

If the unit is owned by a trust, it must be the primary resident of all of the beneficiaries of the trust, trustee, or life estate holder.
