Upon execution of the Agreement, the total assessed value of the improvements used for calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a

2020 the property as follows:

amount of $970,623.50 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.
The Tax Abatement Agreement may be assigned to an affiliate of the property owner without formal consent of the City Council. If the property is
sold to a new owner, other than an affiliate, the Agreement may be assigned only with City Council approval and provided that the new owner
meets all of the eligibility criteria as stated in the NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives.
This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon final approval of the Tax Abatement Agreement, a loss of an estimated $970,623.50 in property tax
revenue may occur over the next five year period. This reduction in revenue will be incorporated into the long term financial forecast upon the Tax
Abatement being officially granted.
