(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has adopted a new county Neighborhood Revitalization Plan.

That came following a public hearing Friday.

The plan is retro-active to January 1st of this year.

It continues to offer a 75 percent property tax rebate for a five-year period for new construction or improvements to residential, agricultural, commercial or industrial property that results in at least a $15,000 increase in the property’s appraised value.

The Commission opted to go with a 10-year plan instead of a 5-year plan, as it had been, to save the paperwork required in having it renewed every five years.

More information on the plan is available through the Brown County Appraiser’s office.
