The Property Owner plans to invest an estimated amount of $69,350.00 to rehabilitate an approximately 1,680 square foot triplex (Project). One unit of the Project will be used as the owners primary residence and the other two units as rental property.

The NEZ Basic Incentives includes a five-year Municipal Property Tax Abatement on the increased value of improvements to the qualified owner of any new construction or rehabilitation within the NEZ. Upon execution of the Agreement, 100 percent of the assessed value of the improvements used for calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a period of five years starting January 2014 at the estimated pre -improvement value, as defined by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD), for the property as follows: Pre -Improvement TAD Value of Improvements $13,500.00 Pre -Improvement Estimated Value of Land $ 3,000.00 Total Pre -Improvement Estimated Value $16,500.00 The municipal property tax on the improved value of Project after construction is estimated in the amount of $592.94 per year for a total amount of $2,964.71 over the five-year period.
