Summary of Tax Abatement Programs

In 2020, the City of Pittsburgh consolidated its real estate tax abatement programs (Act 42, Local Economic Revitalization Tax Act/LERTA, Local Economic Stimulus, and Visitability).

The amended abatements are available city-wide with incentives for affordable housing, job creation, and/or investing in distressed (CDBG-eligible) areas by offering longer and higher-value abatements to projects meeting requirements.
