didn't i read somewhere (probably here) that ed had to resign b/c of some conflicting interests?

If you are a small property owner, you simply need to prove that you are increasing the size or value of your property by more than 33%. Go down to City Hall and get the necessary paperwork from Ed Tolozo, the Tax Assessor. The taxes on the improvement will be scheduled as follows:

Year 1 = 0% of equalized value tax levy of improvement
Year 2 = 20% of equalized value tax levy of improvement
Year 3 = 40% of equalized value tax levy of improvement
Year 4 = 60% of equalized value tax levy of improvement
Year 5 = 80% of equalized value tax levy of improvement
Year 6 = 100% of equalized value tax levy of improvement

In Jersey City, the equalized value tax levy is around 1.4% of actual value, which in the case of an improvement is the improvement's hard construction cost. A bill, or bills, from your contractor(s) will ultimately document this.

If you are a large property owner, you need to get an ordinance passed which will set taxes at rates that are higher than traditional taxes and calculated as a percentage of the new property's gross income. This starts by writing one and calling the Council's Abatement Committee for a hearing on your abatement ordinance. Call the City Clerk for help scheduling, or better yet, just call a local attorney to help you. Since you are looking for advice on a bulleting board, I have to assume you are asking about the small property abatements not the large ones.

Hi
Can anyone tell me how someone would know if they qualify for one?
Also, how much time do they have to file for one?
Thanks in advance
