Urban Enterprise Zone

The purpose of the City of Atlanta Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) Program is to encourage private development and redevelopment in areas of the City or on sites which otherwise would unlikely be developed due to the existence of certain characteristics of the area or site.  An “urban enterprise zone” (UEZ) is a designated district that is located within an economically-depressed area of the City where property owners receive a tax abatement over a ten- year period, if certain conditions are met.

Reporting 

The City of Atlanta is required to produce an annual report to demonstrate both the efficiency and effectiveness of our UEZ program.
