Residential Housing Exemption
The Residential Housing Facilities Act (known as the Residential Housing Exemption), 2022 PA 237, provides a tax incentive to owners of rental housing property of more than four units to enable renovation and expansion of aging facilities and assist in the building of new facilities. A Residential Housing Exemption Certificate (RHEC) entitles the facility to exemption from ad valorem real property taxes for a term of 1-12 years as determined by the local governmental unit. Applications are filed, reviewed, and approved by the local governmental unit. The State Tax Commission (STC) must also approve the application and issue the exemption certificate.
