Economic Development
The City of Jasper is a great place to do business and is very interested in the future of your business. Your business's future growth is a direct benefit to the economic development of the Jasper community and it is vital that we work together toward that goal. We have comprised a list of considerations as you begin your business venture.
Business Incentives
The City of Jasper offers a tax phase-in (abatement) program for qualifying businesses. Property tax abatement in Indiana is authorized under Indiana Code 6-1.1-12.1-1 et. Seq. in the form of deductions from assessed valuation. Property owners in a locally-designated Economic Revitalization Area (ERA) who make improvements to real property or installs eligible new or used personal property may qualify for tax abatement. For a complete overview of the Tax Phase-In Program, please visit the Tax Phase-In page.
Zoning Regulations
Before selecting a property for your business, discuss your site with our Department of Community Development & Planning to see if your intended use is permitted - keep in mind, parking and sign restrictions and zoning history. Various permits may apply.
