INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION FOR CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN MULTIPLE DWELLINGS
REAL PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION (Real Property Tax Law, Section 421-j)
1. Authorization for exemption
Section 421-j of the Real Property Tax Law authorizes the City of N iagara Falls to offer a partial exemption
from r eal property t axation t o multiple dwellings constructed or reconstructed subsequent t o the effective date of
the City’s local law. The cost of such construction, reconstruction, alteration or improvement must exceed $15,000
per dw elling uni t, a nd a valid bui lding pe rmit must ha ve be en i ssued. O rdinary maintenance a nd r epairs do not
qualify for exemption.
The C ity of N iagara F alls m ay l imit t he e xemption t o s pecific forms of n ew c onstruction, reconstruction,

deterioration of the existing structure or which bring it into compliance with applicable building, sanitary, health or
fire codes. Consult the assessor to ascertain if the exemption has been so limited.
2. Duration and computation of exemption
Generally, the amount o f the exemption in the first year is 100% of the increase i n the assessable value
attributable to the construction. The exemption then decreases by 12.5% in each of the next seven years. The City
may reduce the percentages of the exemption.
3. Application for exemption
The exemption may apply to City taxes. The exemption does not apply to user fees.
4. Filing of exemption
Application for exemption from C ity t axes must be filed with the City a ssessor, not the Office of Real
Property Tax Services. When the building is owned on a cooperative basis, one application for the property is to be
filed by the cooperative corporation. W hen the building is owned on a condominium basis, separate applications
must be filed by the owner of each condominium.
5. Time of filing application
The application must be filed in the assessor’s office on or before the appropriate taxable status date and within
one year from the date of completion of the improvements. In Niagara Falls, the taxable status date is March 1.
Once the exemption has been granted, the exemption may continue for the authorized period provided that the
eligibility requirements continue to be satisfied. It is not necessary to reapply for the exemption after the initial
year in order for the exemption to continue. No local law may repeal or reduce an exemption granted pursuant to
section 421 -j unt il e xpiration o f the pe riod o f that e xemption. N o a dditional tax e xemptions m ay a pply t o

or distributees of the original owner, the affected dwelling unit(s) will lose entitlement to tax exemption.
