Your property may qualify for a property tax exemption if your property value changed because you did construction on a multi-family residential building. Benefits vary based on: - location;
- property use; and
- requirements for affordable housing.
The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) determines your eligibility and approves your application. Finance administers the benefit. Read more about the 421a Legislation Overview and Frequently Asked Questions. Application Process
