Criteria for “Charitable” Exemption to Real Property Tax for Provider of Housing for the Elderly Explained

In finding there were questions of fact about whether petitioner, a provider of housing for the elderly, qualified for the “charitable” property tax exemption pursuant to Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) 420-a, the Third Department explained the relevant criteria:

The “critical factor” in determining whether a facility used for housing the elderly qualifies for an exemption by virtue of being “charitable” is whether the facility subsidizes rent or charges less than fair market rental rates … . Consideration is given to whether the facility retains the ability to terminate a resident’s lease for nonpayment, whether residents are charged for supplemental services and the number of residents who are dependent on government benefits … . Simply providing housing for elderly low-income individuals does not constitute a charitable purpose … . Matter of The Church Aid of the Prot Episcopal Church in the Town of Saratoga Springs Inc v Town of Malta Assessor, 2015 NY Slip Op 01689, 3rd Dept 2-26-15
