VI. T Abatement for Personal Property; Ci'eation of Jobs:
The City recobnizes a si~ zi.ficant difference in the valuation of real progerty and
pers al property. Because of depreciation schedules, often the abatement of personal property
is ba ically a tax exemption. For this reason, the abatement schedule for persoral property
vers real property is significantly different. If personal property should become obsolete and
be re laced while under an abatement agreement, the replacement personal property is not
eligi le for abatement.
a) To be eligible for any tax abatement on Personal Property, there must be a Lnuvmum
capital investnzent of $250,000 Jn Personal Property and at least ten (10) new jobs added to the
Em-p over's labor force.
