Bill overview
This bill aims to encourage building owners to install automatic fire sprinkler systems in high-rise residential buildings by providing a tax incentive. It proposes classifying these retrofitted sprinkler systems as ‘15-year property’ for depreciation purposes, similar to other significant building improvements. This would allow building owners to deduct the cost of the sprinkler systems over 15 years rather than the standard depreciation schedule. The bill defines what qualifies as an ‘automatic fire sprinkler system retrofit property’ based on safety standards and building height.
