Housing and Historic Preservation Tax Incentive Programs

 
If you own a historic home or commercial building (50 years or older) and you are planning to spend 25% of the building’s value, minus land, on improvements, you may be eligible to have your property taxes put on hold for the next 10 years to allow you to recoup your investment.

Further, if you own a home or commercial building in the City’s designated urban center / residential target area, and you plan to add at least four units of multi-family housing, you may be eligible for property tax abatement. For more information on this program, contact the Community Development Department at (509) 888-3200.
