Because the Grant Program does not cancel taxes, the owner must pay the full amount of property taxes annually and will subsequently receive a grant for the difference between the pre and post-development municipal taxes. The City will retain the amount of pre-development (base) municipal taxes throughout the lifespan of the grant program; however will be foregoing any incremental property taxes which could otherwise be used to offset future budget pressures.
