Real Estate Taxes: When do I deduct my abatement?

The 3rd Quarter Real Estate Tax Bill is mailed out the beginning of January. The amount on this bill is the amount before the abatement. On your Abatement Certificate, take the total amount of your abatement and split it in half. Deduct that amount from your bill and pay the remaining balance. When the 4th Quarter Real Estate Tax Bill is mailed in April, that amount will have your abatement already deducted from it.
