exchange for a reduced property tax assessment.
FISCAL IMPACT: With the stepped-up basis from a recent sale of the property the
estimated Mills Act Property Tax Adjustment will yield an estimated increase in property
tax to the City in the amount of $1,651 per year. An annual inspection fee will cover
ongoing administration costs associated with this program. The rehabilitation work will
generate additional revenues from building permit fees, and the local economy would
benefit from expanded work by various building contractors, and material suppliers.
