*ICAP Tax Abatements

There are numerous tax exemption and tax abatement programs available to property owners who construct new buildings or make alterations to existing buildings within the City of New York. For owners of nonresidential buildings, the Industrial Commercial Abatement Program (ICAP) is available. Provided there is an increase in the real estate taxes of at least 15%, ICAP provides a substantial tax savings where a building is altered or constructed in the City of New York. There are strict timing requirements and a preliminary application for ICAP benefits must be filed with the New York City Department of Finance prior to commencement of construction and prior to obtaining a construction permit from the New York City Department of Buildings. A final application for ICAP benefits must be filed within one year from the date a permit is issued.
