5 IN 5 HOUSING INFILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES,
CRITERIA & APPLICATION FORM CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS
Revised_ Mqy 12 ,2QZS
"!.
GENERAL PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
The City of Paris, working with our local government partners, is seeking to provide a series of builder
incentives designed to encourage new home construction for the purpose of neighborhood revitalization
and the provision of work force housing. New home construction within the existing interior of the
community can have a positive effect towards reinvestment in our neighborhoods by providing stability
and enhanced character, as well as a means to expand our community's local labor force. Focusing on the
existing interior of the City allows the builder to utilize existing infrastructure rather than the extension of
costly streets and utilities in undeveloped lands at or beyond the urban fringe. The City further seeks to
ensure that new construction within the Program Area and undertaken in connection with the Program is
consistent with existing housing within the neighborhood in which it is being built so as to provide for a
pleasant aesthetic for both current and new residents in the area.
To achieve this purpose, the City will offer a series of incentives depending on the type of housing to be
constructed (see Section IV herein):
1. The City will provide low cost residential lots in the Program Area in tax foreclosure city receivership
to Applicants for the construction of single-family homes. This incentive is available only for the
construction of single-family homes. If an Applicant obtains properties through other traditional
means within the Program Area, other incentives within this policy may apply.
2. The City will offer three (3) to five (5) year residential tax abatements of City property taxes
attributable to constructed improvements depending on housing type and as reflected in Section IV
herein.
3. The City will offer reduced rates on building plan review and permit fees as reflected in Section IV
herein.
4. The City will offer reduced rates on labor charges on water and sewer tap fees as reflected in Section
IV herein.
The city staff will work with interested builders to identify parcels from a pool of tax sale lots in trustee
status to develop a list of properties that will be suitable for the construction of new dwelling units. This
may consist of single-family, two-family, medium density, or high-density residences. Prior to any
construction occurring from which the builder is seeking incentives, the Applicant will enter into an
Agreement to be approved by the City Council for the new construction of residential dwelling units on
one (1) or more parcels. Each of the dwelling units subject to the Agreement must be constructed under
the terms of the agreement within five (5) years from the date of the Agreement, unless such deadline is
extended by subsequent approval of the City Council or unless the City and Applicant agree to a shorter
period of time, which deviation shall be reflected in the Agreement. All parcels under the Agreement must

rt SO / 101/0
ggggm/ / EPSOM
u
PL -INFO -0007 (rev 05/12/25)
I 'I
be built upon within five (5) years to satisfy the terms of the Agreement. Failure to achieve this goal will
result in certain claw backs as provided in the Agreement. All applications shall be considered on a first
come, first serve basis, and the City will not maintain a wait list. There will be no income guidelines under
this program for occupants of the dwelling units, whether owner or renter occupied. In the event the
applicant constructs a new dwelling unit and sells said unit, the tax abatement shall lapse and be
terminated as to that parcel unless the City Council approves an assignment of the tax abatement
agreement to the new owner.
In order to further encourage local development, employment, and enhancement of our economy, to be
eligible for incentives in this policy, building materials and fixtures used in the construction of new
dwelling units, where possible, must be purchased locally within the City of Paris.

III. ELIGIBILITY AND _GUIDELINES
Real property is determined eligible under this policy as provided in the Definitions. If property is eligible,
an Applicant may apply for an Agreement to receive incentives provided for in this policy. For tax
foreclosed properties, all taxing jurisdictions shall be required to sign off on the low-cost land sale
according to the provisions of State Law prior to transfer of the property to the applicant.
Minimum Investment To be eligible for residential tax abatement, an Applicant must construct a new
structure or structures on the property parcel(s) identified in an Agreement between the applicant and
the City.
Limitations:
1. Maximum of 10 dwelling units per agreement.
2. An Applicant with whom the city has entered into an Active Agreement pursuant to which the City
has conveyed a low-cost residential lot or lots shall not be eligible to apply for an additional
Agreement involving such a conveyance until at least 80% of all structures required under the Active
Agreement have been constructed and the City has issued certificates of completion for same. This
80% completion requirement does not apply to Applicants with Active Agreements that do not
provide for the City to convey land. If an Active Agreement applies to a mix of privately owned
property and the conveyance of trustee parcels, the Applicant must have completed construction on
at least 80% of the conveyed parcels to be eligible for a new agreement.
3. Pre -Approved building plans may be accepted. Examples of acceptable architectural styles may be
found in Appendix A attached hereto. Applicants are advised to consult the photographs when
completing their designs to determine whether a given style is consistent with the homes in the
immediate area of any parcel upon which Applicant wishes to build. [Appendix A to be added at a
later date.] The City may deny approval to any design, even if consistent with an example in Appendix
A, if it is not consistent with structures in the surrounding neighborhood of the particular parcel.
4. No zoning change unless there is a substantial change in neighborhood or compatible with the future
land use map.
5. Neighborhood Uniformity — Applicants will submit proposed designs for each dwelling unit sought to
be built as part of the Agreement. Such designs must bear Neighborhood Uniformity in mind and must
conform in basic architectural style to the existing homes in the area in which the structures are to be
built. A design for one neighborhood may not be appropriate for another neighborhood in which the
Applicant seeks to build, so a tailoring of designs to individual neighborhoods is required. No flat or
or shed -type roof lines will be permitted. Submitted designs are subject to the approval of the City,
and once approved, the Applicant/developer/builder/may not deviate from those designs without
prior written approval of the City.

under a subsequent revised agreement. Parcels under the agreement cannot be sold or assigned to
another individual except by prior approval and re -assignment of the parcel(s) and approval of a new
