Council reviews ordinance to broaden residential tax incentives, with 2027 sunset
Summary
Ordinance 2025-O-27 would expand tax incentives for new construction or substantial residential renovation, limit eligibility to contractors current on city taxes/fees, and include a sunset on Dec. 31, 2027.
Huntington City Council reviewed the second reading of Ordinance 2025-O-27, which would broaden the availability of tax incentives for new residential construction and substantial renovations.
Erica Hernandez presented the measure and said the ordinance would expand eligibility for a property tax-related incentive for qualifying residential projects while limiting access to contractors who are current on city fees and taxes. The ordinance includes a sunset clause that ends the incentive on Dec. 31, 2027.
The presenter summarized the changes and fielded preliminary questions; no formal vote or final adoption was recorded in the work session transcript. Council members were invited to ask questions at the time the ordinance was introduced for second reading.
Why this matters: the ordinance would change who qualifies for a municipal tax incentive tied to residential construction and renovation. The sunset clause establishes a fixed review point at the end of 2027.
Next steps: the ordinance was at second reading in the work session; council may consider further readings and a vote at a regular meeting.
