Subdivisions which contain either, or both, of these conditions are hereinafter referred to as “Qualifying Subdivisions”. Blighted Structures are defined as residential structures which are unsafe or dangerous or which are substantially out of compliance with the City’s codes and ordinances.

(1)   The City may reimburse up to $1,000 of City building permit fees paid if a person or developer constructs housing that has minimum appraised value of $35,000 on a previously vacant lot(s) located within a Qualifying Subdivision.

(2)   The City may reimburse up to $2,500 of demolition costs of a structure, located within a Qualifying Subdivision and which the Governing Body has found to be blighted. This reimbursement may be paid by the City upon the receipt of demolition expenses paid and confirmation by the City Zoning Administrator that the demolition is completed.

(3)   The City may reimburse up to $5,000 of demolition costs of a structure located within a Qualifying Subdivision and which the Governing Body has found to be blighted, if the owner/developer removes all the current blighted structure(s) and rebuilds housing that has a minimum appraised value of $35,000. The reimbursement may be paid by the City upon review by the City Zoning Administrator and completion of the home and tax assessment by the Marshall County Appraiser’s office.

(f)   Any person or developer desiring to utilize these incentives must submit an application, on a form supplied by the City, for review and approval by the Governing Body prior to the construction of the home or the demolition of the property.
