Incentive Programs: Recycling, Renewable Energy and Energy Storage
Rural County/City Populations <100,000/60,000

The intent is to favorably alter business location decisions by creating tax incentives for companies locating operations in Nevada. A minimum of two of the three parameters are required by statute-capital investment, Job creation and wages. Meeting wage criteria is mandatory for consideration of property tax abatements.

1. Primary Jobs are those where the revenue generated to pay the employees is generated from outside the economic region. Businesses developing intellectual property into a commercial product may apply for Sales & Use or Personal Property Tax abatements with 10 full time employees.

2. The average hourly wage that is paid by the business is at least 100 percent of the average statewide hourly wage or the average countywide hourly wage, which ever is less, as established by the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation. Additionally, the business will provide a health insurance plan for all employees that includes an option for dependents of the employees.

3. Letters of Acknowledgment can be obtained by the governing body after evaluating whether the abatement would be beneficial to the economic development of the community.
