Avanti Real Estate Services, LLC Real Property Tax Relief Temporary Act of 2025

This bill provides temporary tax relief for Avanti Real Estate Services, LLC by authorizing the Chief Financial Officer to forgive up to $377,000 in real property taxes, penalties, and fees for a specific property at 3421 14th Street, N.W. (Lot 123, Square 2836) in Ward 1. The relief applies only if the property is occupied by Avanti and used for its stated purposes: providing real estate services, promoting homeownership, employing District residents, and offering industry training. The tax relief is temporary, expiring 225 days after enactment, and cancels any pending tax sales for the property. This is a targeted, one-time adjustment for a specific property, not a new tax policy.
