tax abatements

Property levy discounts

Tax abatements are reductions or eliminations of taxes owed, typically granted by governments to encourage development or provide relief.

A city might offer tax abatements to attract businesses to a struggling neighborhood, or a homeowner might receive one for renovating a historic property.
