PLANNING

Tax Abatement

Regional Planning administers the County’s tax abatement program. The Enterprise Zone Program offers tax abatements on real and personal property to qualified manufacturing and wholesale distribution companies. The County Reinvestment Area offers tax abatement on real property for a variety of businesses. Contact Gary Bensman, Executive Director (498-7273) at the Regional Planning Commission for more information.

Housing

Regional Planning has several housing assistance programs including: housing rehabilitation; downpayment assistance; and emergency repair. The housing rehabilitation program provides interest free deferred loans that are 80% forgiven over a five year period to make major repairs to rundown, owner occupied houses. The downpayment program provides downpayment assistance for homebuyers lacking such. The emergency repair program provides emergency assistance for houses experiencing a major defect such as a faulty furnace, septic system or leaky roof. Contact Dianna Reisinger at the Regional Planning Commission for more information (498-7273).
