A component of that support is one of the most competitive incentive packages in the United States. The City of Dallas has designed an incentive package that can assist your company to establish a facility in Dallas or help a Dallas company achieve its expansion dreams. Working through a public/private partnership, Dallas can offer:

• Real or Business Personal Property Tax Abatements
• Freeport Tax Exemptions
• Infrastructure Cost Participation
• Development Fee Rebates
• Tax Increment Financing
• Public Improvement Districts

The public/private partnership program has served as the catalyst for numerous flourishing redevelopment projects throughout Dallas. All incentives are subject to City Council approval. For more information call (214) 670-1221.
