GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RPIE-EZ-2008

Owners of certain income-producing properties are required to file annual Real Property Income and

Expense (RPIE) statements with the Department of Finance (Finance). Finance uses the information from

these statements to estimate the market value of property for tax purposes. Finance may use RPIE data that

is specific to a particular parcel or data from comparable programs.

Some income-producing properties, however, are exempt from RPIE filing. Owners of these properties are

not legally required to file an RPIE statement, but they may wish to do so voluntarily to provide Finance with

information about their property. For these owners, Finance offers the RPIE-EZ form.

To determine if you are exempt from RPIE filing and eligible to file the RPIE-EZ form, see the instructions from

the full Real Property Income and Expense Form.
