The Forgiveness Nonprofit Bill
Tax forgiveness for one nonprofit housing building in DC
4111 Kansas Avenue NW Timeline Extension and Tax Forgiveness Act of 2025
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would let a nonprofit skip recertification for four years and refund any property taxes paid on the building since May 2022.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If the bill passes, the nonprofit could keep more money for upkeep and maybe keep rents affordable, but the city will lose tax revenue that could fund services. Residents should watch to see if special tax breaks become common.
