County updates tax-abatement guidelines and application, court approves
Summary
County Attorney Lindsay Wilkerson presented revised tax-abatement guidelines and an application form required to be reviewed biennially; the court voted to approve the updated documents ahead of an April expiration.
Howard County’s tax-abatement guidelines and the associated application were presented for court approval. County Attorney Lindsay Wilkerson said the county’s document is required to be reviewed every two years and that the current policy was approaching its April expiration date; she said she reviewed and made modest adjustments and that the county did not need to hire outside counsel to validate the document.
Wilkerson noted the application contains information that staff find helpful when considering reinvestment-zone requests and tax-abatement agreements. A motion to approve both the guidelines and the application was made and seconded; the court approved both items by voice vote.
