Charlotte County Business Incentives Program Overview

The Charlotte County Economic Development Incentive Program was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners to advance the mission of the County’s Economic Development Office. This program was specifically created to:

  • Produce high-wage, value-added jobs
  • Reduce the tax burden on residential properties by increasing non-residential tax revenues
  • Reduce the impact of economic downturns by diversifying the local economy

The Program considers eligible job creation, capital investment and infrastructure needs on a case-by-case basis. Participation requires approval of a Program Application and Agreement. Contact the Charlotte County Economic Development Office to discuss current eligibility requirements and available resources.
