There’s a reason developers are suddenly building brand-new $300,000, $400,000, and $500,000 homes on vacant lots in Cleveland. The city offers a 15-year tax abatement on qualifying new construction, which can dramatically reduce the property tax burden by allowing owners to pay taxes primarily on the land value rather than the newly built structure during the abatement period. Incentives like this can completely change the economics of developing vacant land and help explain why certain Cleveland neighborhoods are seeing so much new construction.
