BACKGROUND:
In an effort to improve the quality of housing opportunities in the Farmers Branch, the City Council enacted a Residential Demolition/Rebuild Program pursuant to Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code. This encourages the redevelopment of existing single-family detached residential properties by constructing new, higher-value, single-family detached residential structures.

The incentive for this range (over $150,000) includes a seven-year rebate of municipal taxes based on the difference between the original and new home appraised value (excluding the land value), as determined by the Dallas County Appraisal District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted in the FY 24-25 budget.
