INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration the attached resolution
related to the 2023 Calendar Year applications for residential property tax abatement.
The resolution approves applications filed in accordance with the Urban Revitalization
ordinance and directs that the approved applications be forwarded to the City Assessor.
BACKGROUND
In 1980, the City Council established, under the guidelines set forth in Chapter 404 of
the Code of Iowa, Dubuque's first two Urban Revitalization Areas - Jackson Park Urban
Revitalization Area and West 11t" Street Urban Revitalization Area. In 1981, the City
designated the Washington Street Urban Revitalization Area and amended the district in
2007 and 2008. In 1995, the Upper Main Urban Revitalization Area was designated and
in 2002 the Langworthy, Old Main and Cathedral Urban Revitalization areas were
designated. In January 2015, the Kunkel and Associates Urban Revitalization Plan was
adopted providing a partial 10-year partial abatement for improvements. The Lange
Estate and Paragon Square Urban Revitalization Plans were adopted in April 2016.
Additionally, a number of other small areas have been designated over the years, but
these designations have primarily expired.
The Washington Neighborhood Urban Revitalization district was revised, the boundaries
expanded in March 2007 and amended in 2008. In addition to the ten-year residential
abatement on improvements, this district also allows three-year abatement for
commercial property.
The City Council passed an ordinance that established a new Urban Revitalization Area
starting December 20, 2019, called the Dubuque Urban Revitalization Area, which
consolidated and expanded many of the existing Urban Revitalization Plans.
The purpose of the Urban Revitalization legislation is to attract development to specific
areas, which might otherwise continue to deteriorate, thereby stabilizing and eventually
increasing the tax base within those areas. The abatements are intended to stimulate
private investment by reducing the tax increases that would normally result from making
improvements to residential property.
PROCESS
Applications for tax exemption were accepted until February 1, 2024. The Housing and
Community Development Department reviews applications to ensure properties are
located in a designated area. Staff from the Housing & Community Development
Department inspect structures to verify the work is completed in accordance with
applicable codes.
If the City Council finds the applications to be in compliance with the appropriate urban
revitalization plan, they are forwarded to the City Assessor who inspects the properties,
determines the assessable value of the new improvements and transmits this
information to the County Auditor. The applications will be forwarded to the City
Assessor by March 1 st, 2024, to approve the assessment.
Fourteen (13) Urban Revitalization applications were received prior to February 1, 2024,
with one (1) applications being denied because they were outside the eligible areas.
