Owners of real estate in Suffolk whose buildings were damaged or destroyed during Hurricane Matthew’s passage could qualify for tax relief, Suffolk officials said on Wednesday.

In order to qualify, the structure must have suffered damage that “is equal to or exceeds $500 in the value of the building,” according to a press release. The building also must have been rendered unfit for use and occupancy for 30 days or more during the calendar year by the damage incurred during the storm.
