This bill extends deadlines for tax abatements on eligible renovations to multiple dwelling buildings. It changes the deadline for completing eligible construction from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and extends the period cities can grant tax abatements until June 30, 2026. The bill directly affects building owners making eligible improvements and local governments administering these tax breaks under the multiple dwelling law. It does not create new programs but provides additional time for compliance with existing tax abatement rules. The key change is the one-year extension to both construction completion dates and local government authorization periods.
