Incentives and Taxes

The City of Eagle has established policies and procedures for incentives in an effort to develop and expand the local economy by promoting and encouraging development and redevelopment projects that enhance the City's economic base and economic diversity and expand job opportunities. 

In furtherance of these objectives, the City will, on a case-by-case basis, give consideration upon request to providing economic incentives to applicants in accordance with the policies and procedures.  The policies and procedures are not intended to obligate the City to provide economic incentives to any applicant. The decision whether to approve or deny economic incentives for any applicant shall be at the discretion of the Council; no program or agreement is effective unless and until it is approved by the Council.

• Result in an increased taxable value for the City in real property taxes and/or increased sales and use tax (excluding inventory and supplies);
• Provide an overall positive economic benefit to the community;
• Have a meaningful investment in the community; and
• Result in new, high-quality, or needed jobs within the City.

Incentives will be based on several qualifying factors, such as; project investment, the number of new jobs created or jobs retained, payroll wages, type of industry sector, and overall economic benefit to the community.  Any request for incentives must be approved by the Mayor and Eagle City Council.
