About

The Harrisburg enterprise zone offers an excellent opportunity for a businesses growing or wanting to locate in Harrisburg. The enterprise zone exempts businesses from local property taxes on new investments typically for three years, although this can be extended to five years if specific criteria are met. Subject to local authorization, timely filings and meeting criteria the benefits of the enterprise zone include:

  • Construction-in-Process Enterprise Zone Exemption—For up to two years before qualified property is placed in service, it can be exempt from local taxes, which can cover more property than the regular exemption for commercial facilities under construction.
  • Three to five consecutive years of full relief from property taxes on qualified property, after it is in service.
