1. Property Information
Percentage Used As Primary Residency
If your property contains four or more residential units, indicate the percentage used as your primary residency.
Example: if the property is a four-family dwelling and you reside in one fourth (1/4) of the property, the percentage used
as primary residency is 25%. Or, if the owners reside in half of the property (2 of the 4 units) the percentage used as
primary residency is 50%.
Trust/Life Estate Information
Indicate if the property is owned by a trust or held by a life estate holder. Note that if the property is held in trust, the
exemption may be allowed if the beneficiary of the trust qualifies. If a person holds a life estate in the property, that
person is the owner for SCHE eligibility purposes.
Additional Properties Owned
If you or your spouse own additional/multiple properties, please complete Section 4, “Additional Properties” on page
3 of the application. If you no longer receive benefits on additional properties located outside of NYC, you must
submit a letter from the county/state local assessor’s office indicating that there are no benefits on those properties.
