Chapter 378 of the Texas Local Government Code provides that a municipality can offer an abatement of municipal property taxes for properties located in a NEZ. 4812 Bryant Irvin Court Stacy V. Cole (Property Owner) is the owner of the property described as Lot 11 -R4 -2, Block, Ridglea Park Addition, an Addition to the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas, according to the Plat recorded in Cabinet B, Page 3433, of the Plat Records of Tarrant County, Texas, at 4812 Bryant Irvin Court, Fort Worth, Texas 76107. The property is located within the Ridglea Como NEZ and Council District 3. The Property Owner plans to invest an estimated $1,300,000.00 to construct a Dental Clinic (Project) that will be approximately 5,300 square feet. The Housing and Economic Development Department reviewed the application and certified that the Project met the eligibility criteria to receive a NEZ municipal property tax abatement. The Property Owner applied for a five -year municipal property tax abatement under the NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives (Resolution No. 3742, 05- 2009). The municipal property tax on the improved value of the single family residential structure after construction is estimated at $11,115.00 per year, for a total of $55,575.00 over the five -year period. However, this estimate may differ from the actual tax abatement value, which will be calculated based on the Tarrant Appraisal District appraised value of the property. In the event of a sale of this property the tax abatement agreement may be assigned to a new owner with City Council approval, only if the new owner meets all of the eligibility criteria as stated in the NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives. Staff recommends proceeding with placing the tax abatement on the October 19, 2010, City Council agenda for consideration by City Council.
