On May 9, 2011, the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction of a single family residential structure at 1329 S. Henderson Street. The Property Owner plans to invest an estimated $80,000.00 to construct an approximately 2,150 square foot single family residence (Project). The Project will be sold as a primary residence. The Housing and Economic Development Department reviewed the application and certified that the property owner and Project met the eligibility criteria to receive a NEZ Municipal Property Tax Abatement. 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, the total assessed value of the improvements used for calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a period of five years, starting January 2012 at the estimated pre-improvement value as defined by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) on June 27, 2011, for the property as follows: Pre-Improvement TAD Value of Improvements $ 0.00 Pre-Improvement Estimated Value of Land $30,000.00 Total Pre-Improvement Estimated Value $30,000.00 The municipal property tax on the improved value of Project after construction is estimated at Logname: 17PUBLICFACILITYCONTRACTS Page I of 2 $684.00, per year, for a total of$3,420.00 over the five-year period.

All other assignments must be approved by the City Council. This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
