Property Tax Abatement

The City of Dayton is committed to the promotion of high quality development. On a case-by-case basis, the city will give consideration to providing tax abatement on the increment in value added to a particular property by a specific development proposal which meets the economic goals and objectives of the city. 

Tax abatement may be offered on improvements to real property owned by the applicant and/or on new personal property brought to the site by the applicant. Tax abatement will not be ordinarily considered for projects which would be developed without such incentives unless it can be demonstrated that higher development standards or other development and community goals will be achieved through the use of the abatement.

Liberty County will work with your businesses for a property tax abatement.
