- Downtown Residential Property Tax Abatement
The Downtown Liberty Residential Chapter 353 District ("Downtown Residential District") allows the Liberty Municipal Redevelopment Corporation (LMRC) to receive partial abatement of property taxes for properties within the redevelopment area in accordance with the Downtown Residential District that are rehabilitated or redeveloped in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. The purpose of the corporation is to provide a streamlined, cost-effective means for individual property owners to obtain partial tax abatement on their properties in return for making improvements. Stock in the corporation is owned wholly by the City of Liberty and the corporation is managed by a board of directors.
Under the authority of the Urban Redevelopment Corporations Law, redevelopment investment is encouraged through property tax abatement.
