Zoning Case File 26-5764

Context: Resolution No. 6256-02-2026, adopted 11-0 on February 10, 2026, locked in minimum investment commitments of $2.13M and $9.14M respectively, with Chapter 312 recapture exposure running through at least 2031.

Recommended: Request the executed abatement agreements from Fort Worth's Economic Development department to identify the annual certification schedule and investment milestone dates — under Texas Tax Code Chapter 312, a missed annual filing triggers recapture of all abated taxes even if the underlying capital investment is proceeding on schedule. The five-year compliance clock started February 10, 2026, and the first reporting deadline may fall within months.

Context: The February 10, 2026 council approved two separate five-year industrial abatements in CD 8's Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Area Six by an 11-0 vote, establishing a clear approval pattern at investment levels as low as $2.13M.

Recommended: Confirm your parcel's Neighborhood Empowerment Zone designation with Fort Worth's Economic Development office — if you fall within Area Six, you can cite the two abatements just approved under Resolution No. 6256-02-2026 as direct precedent and initiate a Chapter 312 application while council's unanimous support is fresh and documented. Waiting risks a zone boundary revision or NEZ Area Six program renewal before your application is on file.

Context: Two abatement agreements totaling $11.3M in foregone property tax revenue were adopted 11-0 on February 10, 2026, packaged inside a 79-item, $60.4M omnibus session with no documented individual floor discussion per the council record.

Recommended: File a public records request with the Fort Worth City Secretary for the full text of Resolution No. 6256-02-2026 to identify the two industrial companies that received five-year tax abatements in Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Area Six — beneficiary names almost certainly do not appear in the published agenda summary. Waiting more than a week risks slower response as the item deprioritizes in the queue.
