Time is Running Out, Make the Call: Urge Albany to Pass the New York City Solar Property Tax Abatement Bill

Right now legislation is pending in the New York State Senate and Assembly that, if made into law, would give new solar PV system owners in the five boroughs a sizable property tax abatement. Such an incentive would make solar more affordable and would boost the amount of clean energy in-city over the next few years, while permanently driving down costs.

The Senate bill (8145) has made it through committee and will be voted on shortly. The Assembly bill (11202) however, is still waiting to be considered by the Real Property Tax Committee. There are only two and half weeks remaining in the current legislative session so the time for the Assembly to act is now!

Go to the I Heart PV campaign’s Cause Caller page where you can make contact with four members of the Real Property Tax Committee and urge them to move the bill through for a general vote now - without even looking up a single number. It’s easy and takes about 5-10 minutes.

Make the call now and help make solar more affordable for New Yorkers!
