SUBJECT AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THE
FORT WORTH HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SIXTEEN SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES FOR THE EASTCREST SUBDIVISION LOCATED
IN THE STOP SIX NEIGHBORHOOD EMPOWERMENT ZONE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation (FWHFC) application for Municipal Property
Tax Abatement for the Eastcrest Subdivision; and
2. Find that the statements set forth in the recitals of the attached Tax Abatement Agreements (the
Agreements)with FWHFC are true and correct; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to enter into tax abatement agreements with FWHFC for the development
of sixteen single-family homes in the Eastcrest Subdivision located in the Stop Six Neighborhood
Empowerment Zone(NEZ), in accordance with the NEZ Basic Incentives.
DISCUSSION:
The FWHFC is the developer/owner of the Eastcrest Subdivision in the 4700 Block of East Berry Street
and Eastcrest Court located in NEZ No.'1.
The FWHFC applied for municipal property tax abatement under the NEZ Basic Incentives (M&C G-
13208R dated June 5, 2002, M&C G-13580 dated April 2, 2002, as amended, and M&C G-13662R
dated July 23, 2002, as amended). The Housing Department has reviewed the application and certified
that the property meets the eligibility criteria to receive NEZ municipal property tax abatement. The
NEZ Basic Incentives offers a five-year municipal property tax abatement of the increased value of
improvements to a developer/owner of any new home constructed within a NEZ.
Upon execution of the Agreements, the total assessed value of each home in the Eastcrest Subdivision
used for calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a five-year period, starting on January 1, of
the year following the year in which the home is sold, at the pre-improvement value of each lot as defined
by the Tarrant Appraisal District(TAD) on January 1, 2002, as follows:
• Pre-Improvement TAD Value of Improvements $ -0-
• Pre-Improvement TAD Value of Land $1,000 per lot
• Total Pre-Improvement TAD Value $1,000 per lot
