Economic Development Incentives
Cedar Park has a number of performance-based financial incentive programs available for businesses that are creating new job opportunities, expanding the local tax base and raising the local per capita income level. Incentives are determined on a case by case basis according to criteria that include capital investment, job creation, and sales tax generation. A project?s ability to advance strategic initiatives of the city, such as how a business might enhance other new business prospects for our area, is also considered.
Some of the incentives available include:
- Performance based incentives through the City of Cedar Park's 4A and 4B Sales Tax Corporations
- Tax abatements on real and personal property for up to 10 years
-Chapter 380 tax rebates for projects which significantly enhance the City of Cedar Park?s tax base
- Triple Freeport exemption on property tax on inventory for employers that manufacture or distribute goods that are shipped outside of Texas
- Fast track approval through the development process, including Pre-Development meetings available for all site plans
- Reimbursement of allowable permit fees, impact fees, capital recovery fees, and inspection fees associated with the project.
