The Tax Increment Rebate Program is included as part of the City’s Community Improvement Plan (CIP). The purpose of the Tax Rebate program is to stimulate new and large scale re-development projects located in the Community Improvement Plan Area by providing a rebate for the City portion of tax increases for those properties that have undergone significant property rehabilitation, redevelopment or other significant building improvements (having a minimum investment of $500,000).
The Tax Rebate program is a 5-year phased program providing grants equivalent to a percentage of the City’s portion of the increase in property taxes as a result of substantial property improvements or new development. The grant shall be an amount, which does not exceed:
- 100% of the municipal realty tax increase during the first year
- 75% in year two
- 50% in year three
- 25% in year four
- 0% in year five
Interested applicants are encouraged to speak to the CIP Coordinator before submitting an application to ensure eligibility and the completeness of the application.
Our municipality owes its existence to the initiative and efforts of prospectors by the names of Harry Preston, Sandy McIntyre and Benny Hollinger, who in the early 1900′s discovered gold. Financiers Noah and Henry Timmins were responsible for the development of the Hollinger Mine and, thus, the name Timmins came to the forefront and has been our proud designation ever since.
