New York Abatement and Tax Exemption Attorneys
In order to encourage development of vacant land, re-development of improved parcels and upgrading of residential buildings, abatements and tax exemptions are often available to reduce the likely tax burden on those projects. Available exemptions and abatements vary wildly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For property owners, securing an exemption or abatement is best done with the assistance of an experienced attorney.
Sometimes the municipality administering the exemption/abatement program denies an application for benefits. If your project has been denied benefits, we can review the application filings made to date and bring an action in State Supreme Court if necessary.
It is critical to note that some exemption/abatement programs require initial filings, BEFORE YOU EVEN PULL A PERMIT OR ACQUIRE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, or eligibility can be denied. Accordingly, please contact us immediately if you are ready to commence construction.
At Brandt, Steinberg & Lewis LLP, our attorneys have significant experience working with clients, their contractors and architects to obtain the most favorable exemptions and abatements available. Our clients trust us with facilitating the application process and making certain the most advantageous benefits are obtained.
