Harris County Ad Valorem Incentive - Full-Time Permanent Job Creation for Residents of HUD-Designated Low Income Target Areas
Construction of a new eligible facility resulting in creation of jobs for residents of “HUD-Designated Low-Income Target Areas” within the County, as determined on application date, may enable CSD to recommend that Commissioners Court approve an additional tax abatement, per the following: a) 10 jobs (up to 24) 2.0% increase in tax abatement; b) 25 jobs (up to 49) 5.0% increase in tax abatement; c) 50 jobs (up to 99) 10% increase in tax abatement; d) 100 jobs (or more) 20% increase in tax abatement. A qualifying project must nevertheless meet the three basic requirements to for an economic development tax abatement: (1) creation of at least $1 million in new tax roll value, (2) creation of at least 25 new permanent full-time jobs, and (3) competitive siting. Compliance shall be monitored annually based on W-2s and other pertinent employee-specific data to be required/requested from employer as needed. A specific “Target Area Employment Incentive” provision must be contained in the Agreement approved by Commissioners Court and cannot be added at a later date.
