Commercial Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate

Commercial Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate (PA 210)
Similar to the OPRA exemption, the City of Ypsilanti can provide property tax abatement to owners of certain rehabilitated commercial facilities in designated districts by freezing its pre-rehabilitated taxable value for 1-10 years. Land and most personal property are not eligible for a Commercial Rehabilitation tax exemption.

Key distinctions between the OPRA and the Commercial Rehabilitation exemptions are: the obsolete or blighted designation required for an OPRA, size and/or area requirements for a Commercial Rehabilitation District, and the potential for an OPRA to qualify for exemption from one-half of the school millage. This exemption requires a petition to City Council to create a Commercial Rehabilitation district.
