City of Phoenix Programs

​



New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC Program)

Self-Certification Program
The City of Phoenix is a leader in streamlined plan review and permitting programs. Our Self-Certification Program eliminates traditional plan review by allowing a registered professional to certify a project's compliance with building codes, standards and ordinances. Over 200 projects have successfully utilized the program.

​

Government Property Lease Excise Tax (GPLET)
GPLET is a state statute which allows a private party to construct new improvements on a parcel, transfer free title of the land and improvements for government agencies to hold, and then have it leased back to them. Government ownership of the land results in the parcel not being charged an Ad Valorem Property tax but instead, taxed an Excise Tax.  In most cases, this creates a savings for a development/redevelopment project.

Phoenix Industrial Development Authority
The Phoenix IDA is focused on providing bond financing for community and economic development projects. Since 2009, the Phoenix IDA has issued more than $1 billion in bonds. Their goals include increasing job opportunities within the community, supporting education and health care, and providing housing for underserved communities.
