Incentives

Mesquite offers selected industries incentives for the expansion or relocation of their business to the community. The offer of incentives is tied to an analysis of the impact on community services and to the goals of the community.
Triple Freeport
The City of Mesquite and the Mesquite Independent School District passed Resolutions of Intent in December 1998 to grant the Freeport Exemption. Formal action occurred in March 1999 and made the effective date of the exemption January 2000. This action established Mesquite as a leading Triple Freeport Community.
Tax Phase-In Period (Abatement)
The City of Mesquite may consider a tax phase-in period for projects which result in a net increase of at least two (2) million dollars in taxable value. The maximum term for any phase-in period is ten (10) years.
Infrastructure Cost Participation
The City of Mesquite will, as an incentive to a property owner or developer, give consideration to participation in the cost of water and sanitary sewer utility improvements, both off-site and on-site, required to serve an industrial or commercial park. The policy will be considered on a case by case basis and the project must meet the economic goals of the City.
