STATEMENT ON TAX ABATEMENT:STATEMENT ON TAX ABATEMENT: The Property Development and Tax Abatement Act, Chapter 312, Texas Tax Code, allows the City to establish its own criteria for tax abatements. Tax abatements may be offered in two categories: 1) real property and/or 2) business personal property. Real property abatements will be offered to applicants that pursue the construction of new or expanded facilities in which to house the applicable project. The abatement will apply to the assessed value of improvements made. Business personal property abatements will be offerred to applications that pursue the purchase or long-term lease of existing facilities. The abatement will apply to the assessed value of new personal property brought into the taxing jurisdiction. Assessed value shall mean the taxable value of real property improvements and business personal property as determined by the county appraisal district in which the property is located. VALUE OF INCENTIVES:VALUE OF INCENTIVES: The subject criteria outlined herein will be used in determining whether it is in the best interest of the City, CDC and EDC to provide incentives. Specific considerations include how the individual project furthers the goals and objectives of the community and the impact of the project. The public benefit or amount of revenue realized by the City and attributable to the project must equal or exceed the value of any incentives granted under the application. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES:ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES: Incentive funds may be used for one or more of the following to assist development or redevelopment: Capital investment related to real property construction and acquisition Improvements to an existing building Infrastructure Site enhancements such as upgraded aesthetics or amenities Other purposes which bring value to the community as determined by the Anna City Council, EDC and CDC EXCLUSIONARY FACTORS:EXCLUSIONARY FACTORS: While a project may meet all minimum project qualifications, it will not be considered for public investment if any of the following factors apply: The project would, for any reason, result in a net reduction of the ad valorem tax valuation of facilities in the City owned by the company, or its parent, subsidiary or affiliated companies The company is not in good legal or financial standing with the State of Texas (or other state if not formed in Texas), Collin County, or City The company is not registered to do business in Texas as evidenced by the records of the Texas Secretary of State The financial condition of the company is such that the ability of the company to meet its obligations is uncertain PUBLIC INFORMATION:PUBLIC INFORMATION: While Section 522.131 of the Texas Government Code (Public Information Act) makes information related to economic development negotiations between the City and business prospect confidential, any information provided by an applicant may be subject to release to the public pursuant to the Act. It is the responsibility of the applicant to clearly identify proprietary or confidential information it wishes to protect from release. According to Section 312.003 of the Texas Tax Code, part of an application that describes the specific process or business activities to be conducted or equipment or other property is not subject to public disclosure until the incentive agreement is executed. The City will make reasonable attempts to notify the applicant if a request is made for information that is indicated as confidential so that the applicant may assert its rights to be withheld from release to the Texas Attorney General. APPLICATION:APPLICATION: The first step for any applicant is to submit an application and include information detailing the criteria outlined above. For the application to be complete, the applicant shall prepare a map or other documents that show the precise location of the property. The map or other documents should show the existing uses and conditions of real property, proposed improvements and uses, and proposed zoning changes if applicable. Additional documentation should also show compatibility with the City of Anna 2050 Comprehensive Plan and/or City of Anna Downtown Master Plan, applicable building codes and City ordinances. An application for financial or other incentives shall not be considered an application for a permit under Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code. A Business Plan addressing all criteria questions should accompany the application and the map. Applications and supporting documents are submitted to the EDC Director. APPLICATION REVIEW PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES:APPLICATION REVIEW PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES: All information in the application package will be reviewed for completeness and accuracy. The City, EDC and CDC will not enter into an incentive agreement with any business entity unless, in accordance with Section 2252.908 of the Texas Government Code and rules adopted by the Texas Ethics Commission, a disclosure of interested parties is submitted. (Referenced: Form 1295) https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/filinginfo/1295/ The disclosure form is required to be executed before a notary and submitted before any incentives will be approved. The City’s Economic Development Department will review the application with the City Manager and appropriate City departments for internal review and comments. Additional information may be requested as needed. The Board of Directors for the Anna Community Development Corporation (CDC) and Anna Economic Development Corporation (EDC) may serve as an advisory body which make recommendations to the City Council regarding whether economic development incentives should be offered in each individual case. The CDC and/or EDC Board may also provide incentives using CDC/EDC funds when appropriate. All meetings of the CDC/EDC Board shall be held in compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code. Additional information may be requested as needed. The CDC / EDC Board may consider adoption of a resolution approving the terms and conditions of a contract between the CDC / EDC and the applicant. If the City Council decides to grant a tax abatement, it shall call a public hearing to consider establishment of a tax reinvestment zone in accordance with Section 312.201 of the Tax Code. This does not preclude the City from entering into a Chapter 380 agreement that may have incentives similar to those derived by tax abatement. The City Council may consider adoption of an ordinance or resolution approving the terms and conditions of a contract between the City and the applicant governing the provision of the tax abatement or incentive and the commitments of the applicant, including all terms required by Section 312.205 of the Tax Code and other terms and conditions as the City Council may require. The City reserves the authority to enter into tax abatement agreements at differing percentages and/or terms, consistent with the requirements of the Texas Tax Code. The City also reserves the authority to enter into incentive agreements under Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code. Those receiving incentives will be required to enter into a performance agreement including requirements for job creation/expansion and infrastructure/facility/capital expenditures. Projects that do not meet performance measures are subject to recapture of all or a portion of the incentive value. Incentive RequestApplication The Anna Community Development Corporation (CDC), The Anna Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and the City of Anna follow set criteria for determining how public funds are invested in private developments aimed at strengthening the local economy and improving quality of life. The information collected through this form helps the ACDC evaluate the anticipated fiscal effects of a proposed private project on the community, as well as the expected return on any public investment involved. Every project requesting incentives—whether financial assistance, tax abatements, deferred taxes, or regulatory adjustments—must go through this fiscal impact analysis before any public support is approved. These guidelines also require each project to meet certain minimum performance standards. Projects that fall short of these benchmarks may still be reviewed, but only on an individual, case-by-case basis. Applications for incentives must be approved by the ACDC Board of Directors in an open meeting. All incentives must be contractually tied to certain performance criteria on the part of the requesting entity under Texas law. An application does not guarantee an incentive grant or assistance of any kind. The City has both a Type A and Type B Economic and Community Development Corporation. Type A sales tax is primarily intended for manufacturing and industrial development. EDCs may use Type A revenues to fund land, buildings, equipment, facilities expenditures, targeted infrastructure and improvements for projects and job creation. The Type B sales tax may be used for any project eligible under Type A rules and several other project types, including quality of life improvements. • Business-related sewer utilities and site improvements • Light rail, commuter rail, or motor buses • Type B projects with voter approval The Incentive Program Type A and B Eligible Projects Company Information Company Profile Project Examples Date of Formation State of Formation Federal Tax ID Number Texas Tax ID Number nroach@annatexas.govNatasha Roach, Assistant Director 214.831.5321 Business Name: DBA Name: Address: Applicant Name: Applicant Email: Applicant Phone: Provide a brief description of the product/service by the company: Company Structure Corporation Sole Proprietorship Partnership LLC NAICS/SIC Code(s) Company Formation Details • Job training classes and career centers • Infrastructure assistance to retail or commercial projects Which of the following types of facilities will the requested Incentives be used to help develop, retain or expand?
