ACTION COMMITTEE FOR REASONABLE REAL ESTATE TAXES
Wednesday, February 15, 2023
6 PM
Zoom details to be provided
The Action Committee for Reasonable Real Estate Taxes has worked since 1990 for
property tax fairness in New York City. It has helped bring awareness of disparities
in the City’s tax structure and has helped implement and extend the abatement
program for condo and co-op homeowners. The abatement program will now
sunset on June 30, 2023. CNYC will push for a long extender of the program to
enable the Adams Administration to move forward with property tax reform. Your
help will be enlisted to help ensure that the program is extended. We will also
look at the new tentative assessments for Fiscal 2024, which are published on
January 15th and will remind attendees of the procedure for protesting increases.
There is no fee to attend Action Committee meetings but advance registration is
required. Please make sure that your cooperative or condominium is represented.
