Neighborhood Revitalization Program

This program makes tax rebates available for home or business property improvements. If you are building a new structure or making significant improvements to residential, commercial or industrial property, your project may be eligible for the Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP).

The NRP is a way to receive up to a 10-year rebate on the increased property taxes paid as a result of new construction or rehabilitation projects. Eligible commercial and residential properties could receive up to a 100% rebate. 

Applications can be obtained from the Office of Revitalization and Preservation, third floor of City Hall, or can be downloaded below. Part 1 of the application must be submitted along with your building permit, before the project begins, to be eligible. For more information or to see if your property qualifies, visit or call 316-284-6001.
