Incentives
City of Dallas Economic Incentives Programs
Thank you for your interest in the Office of Economic Development’s incentive programs. The recently approved Economic Development Incentive Policy keeps the economic development tools that have made Dallas competitive and adds new, innovative tools to institutionalize a living wage, streamline the process for smaller developers, create a new fund to address infrastructure challenges and prioritize investment in specific areas. The new incentive policy directs certain programs and incentives toward designated Target Areas that align with the state’s designated Enterprise Zones, which are census block groups designated as distressed areas.
City funds are generally the last funding source committed to a project, and can be used to fill the gap that remains after other funding sources are maximized. Learn more about the Office of Economic Development’s programs from the links on the left.
