This community has passed Referendums that offers manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and warehouse operations inventory tax exemptions on three (3) categories of property: (1) Manufacturer's raw materials and goods in process, (2) Finished goods held by the original manufacturer, and (3) Finished goods held by distributors, wholesales, and manufacturers destined for out-of-state shipments.
Qualified companies may be able to obtain certain property tax relief for new assets. This program is sometimes called, "Bonds for Title." In Bartow County, this discretionary incentive considered on a case-by-case basis is usually structured as a phase-in of property taxes (excluding school taxes) over a certain period of time such as 5 or more years for extraordinary opportunities. Special respect is given to existing industries. Important notes:
