New York City Cooperative and Condominium Tax Abatement Program

The tax abatement program allows for certain tax benefits every year to owners and tenants-shareholders of Residential Class 2 Properties in New York City. The NYC Law uses a statistical model to ascertain the Market Value of the property, based on its income earning potential, on which the benefit is then calculated.

Some of the requirements of the NYC Cooperative and Condominium Tax Abatement program fall under these categories:

  • Co-op or condo unit being the primary residence of the owner

  • Date of purchase to avail tax abatement in present financial year

  • Number of units that can be owned in any one development
