What is the Enterprise Zone property tax abatement incentive

Properties located within the Enterprise Zone boundaries may have a part of its property taxes abated. The portion abated includes the added improvements to the property. This means the abatement amount will be the property tax increment that is created from the improvement. Taxes are not abated on the existing property value.
