Int 1010-2026
| * | Christopher Marte | | | Increasing the maximum income level qualifying for the senior citizen homeowner’s exemption and the disabled homeowner’s exemption. | Introduction | New York City provides a real property tax exemption to eligible low-income senior citizen homeowners through the Senior Citizen Homeowners' Exemption (SCHE) and to eligible low-income homeowners with disabilities through the Disabled Homeowners' Exemption (DHE). The exemptions reduce the taxable assessed value of qualifying property based on a sliding-scale exemption schedule determined by household income. This bill would increase the maximum income eligibility level for SCHE and DHE from $50,000 to $75,000, beginning July 1, 2027. This bill would also update the income thresholds for the existing sliding-scale exemption schedules applicable to SCHE and DHE to reflect the increased maximum income eligibility level. | | |
