Tax Abatement Application Review <br />In accordance with the provisions of the tax abatement ordinance, planning staff coordinated with the <br />County Attorney's office, the Property Appraisers Office (PAO), and the Indian River County <br />Chamber of Commerce to process/review the PCP .Tactical, LLC tax abatement application. <br />Specifically, the County Attorney's office completed an expedited due diligence review of the company <br />and in conjunction with planning staffprepared a proposed ordinance and tax abatement agreement; the <br />Chamber of Commerce completed an Economic Impact Analysis report (see attachment 6); and the <br />PAO prepared an estimate of revenue that would be lost to the County for the current fiscal year if the <br />tax abatement were granted (see attachment 7). <br />The County's Economic Development Council (EDC) also held a Special Call Meeting on October 13, <br />2020, and unanimously recommended that the BCC approve the requested tax abatement. <br />The BCC is now to review and make a decision on the PCP Tactical, LLC tax abatement application <br />and proposed ordinance and agreement; taking into consideration the Chamber of Commerce and PAO <br />reports, the EDC recommendation, staff s analysis contained in this agenda item, and other factors the <br />BCC may consider. <br />ANALYSIS <br />As structured, the County's tax abatement ordinance authorizes the BCC, at its sole discretion, to grant <br />qualifying_ businesses an exemption from certain ad valorem taxes (property taxes) for a period of up to <br />10 years. Under the ordinance, the BCC may exempt (abate) up to 100% of the assessed value of new <br />real property improvements and newly installed tangible personal property for purposes of assessing <br />"County taxes". Consistent with the tax abatement ordinance, the "County taxes" that will be abated for <br />the PCP Tactical, LLC project are those taxes associated with the General Fund, the Municipal Services <br />Taxing Unit (MSTU), and the Emergency Services District Fund. No other taxes, such as School <br />District taxes or taxes levied for the payment of bonds, are affected by tax abatement.. For the <br />2020/2021 budget year, the combined amount of the 3 "County taxes" referenced above comprises <br />approximately 46% of the property tax bill for the subject properties within unincorporated county. <br />Qualifying for Tax Abatement <br />Consistent with state statutes, the County's tax abatement program is an economic development <br />incentive available for business expansion projects and new business projects that qualify under the <br />terms of the tax abatement ordinance. In this case, the proposed PCP Tactical, LLC is an existing <br />manufacturer in the County that produces lightweight small -arms ammunition primarily sold to the U.S. <br />military. The company currently employs twenty (20) people and proposes to expand to employ an <br />additional twenty-two (22) people. Per the tax abatement ordinance, a business expansion of a <br />manufacturer that employees at least ten (10) or more new (in addition to pre-existing) full-time <br />employees is eligible to apply to the program. Since PCP Tactical, LLC proposes to hire an additional <br />twenty-two (22) employees, its facility qualifies for tax abatement consideration under the terms of the <br />tax abatement ordinance (see page 2 of attachment #1). <br />F:\Community Development\Users\EDplannr\INCENTIVES & FUNDING\Tax Abatements\Applications\Confidential - C\BCC Agenda 2 <br />Item\BCC Item - PCP Tactical ad valorem report v2.doc <br />
