Perris readopts industrial tax-abatement policy required by state law
Summary
The council conducted a public hearing and unanimously readopted the city's industrial ad valorem tax abatement policy, citing Texas Tax Code chapter 312 and noting the policy's two-year readoption requirement.
The Perris City Council on Jan. 12 held a public hearing and unanimously readopted its industrial ad valorem tax abatement policy, a step staff said is required under chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code to continue participating in industrial tax-abatement agreements.
Staff, speaking for Stephanie, explained the current policy was approved in January 2024 and must be readopted on a two-year cycle. "The guidelines and criteria in the policy may be very broad or very specific in detail like the ones used in Paris," the staff member said during the presentation, noting local governments have flexibility in how they structure criteria.
The public hearing drew no speakers. Council took a motion and second (a second was recorded on the record as Mister Dallas) and voted 7-0 to adopt the readoption resolution.
Staff recommended adoption of a resolution to restate the city's intent to participate in property tax-abatement agreements and to readopt the existing guidelines so the city may continue to offer industrial incentives under state law. The council's vote formally preserves that authority under the city's policy framework.
No additional conditions or amendments were recorded at the meeting.
