Data Description: Residential Tax Abatements (CRAs) are designed to make it possible for property owners to minimize the taxes they pay while still owning their homes. The Abatement allows owners to pay taxes on the pre-improvement value of their property for 10-15 years. Property tax abatement is available for any increased valuation that results from improvements to the property for new construction and renovation.
This data includes address of residential abatement; neighborhood; LEED date and class (for properties that meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards), permit and application dates; county certification date (when available + applicable); incentive amount; construction type; and ownership type.

Note: Incentive values are estimates only.
