For a complete copy of the process and requirements please see FWRC Title 3, Chapter 3.30.
What steps are required for the tax exemption decision and how long will it take?
The following is a summary of the steps required for review and processing of a request for tax exemption for a
multi -family housing application.
1. Application Submittal — If submitting the tax exemption application prior to the land use permit
application, you may submit the application in person or by mail. Otherwise, you may submit the
application in person together with your land use permit application submittal.
2. Staff Review — Your application will be reviewed by City staff for completeness. If additional information
is necessary, you will be contacted to correct and/or supplement your application.
Decision —
a. The Community Development Director reviews the application to determine if the project is eligible
and, if so, may approve the application.
b. If the director approves the application, the owner shall enter into a contract with the city, which
requires City Council approval.

of Tax Exemption. The certificate is only valid for only three years, unless an extension is granted
pursuant to FWCC 3.30.090.

of appeal with the City Clerk within 30 calendar days of receipt of the notice of denial. The appeal before the
City Council shall be based upon the record before the director, and the director's decision will be upheld
unless the owner can show that there is no substantial evidence on the record to support the director's decision.
