The NRA Tax Rebate Program is a way to receive up to a 95% five-year rebate on the increased taxes actually paid, as a result of new construction or rehab projects in the Neighborhood Revitalization Area (NRA). To determine if your home or property is located in the NRA, see the NRA Map.
The NRA Tax Rebate Program is available for non-resident property owners or owner/occupants. Single-family dwellings, multi-family dwellings, or commercial/industrial properties qualify for application for tax rebate. Properties being rehabilitated or newly constructed qualify. Tax rebates apply to increased taxes actually paid on the improved value of a property and do not apply to existing property taxes.
