Incentive Programs

Administration

The Prescott Valley Job Creation Incentive Program reallocates construction sales tax revenues received from a new construction or expansion project and makes them available for reimbursement to a qualifying employer. A participating employer must track and document construction sales taxes paid in association with its project. Funding available for reimbursement is limited to the amount collected in construction sales tax revenues by the Town of Prescott Valley from an individual project. Reimbursement requests must be made to the Town within three (3) years of issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for the new or renovated structure. All program elements operate on a reimbursement basis. Documentation of allowable expenses must be submitted to the Town in order to receive reimbursement.
