Fee Deferral Program
The City offers a Fee Deferral Program for non-residential development. This deferral allows development to pay the Traffic Impact Fee to the City just prior to occupancy. Descriptions and contact information for local business assistance organizations are listed below.
Sales Tax Reimbursement Program
For businesses that generate more than $10 million in taxable sales, the City has developed a program to help offset investments in improvements to the site or building that the business proposes to occupy. The City will reimburse a business up to 50% of their annual sales tax for a period of five years, up to the amount they invested in the property. For users that generate more than $50 million in taxable sales, the City will reimburse a business up to 50% for a period of 10 years.
Example
Business A is expected to generate $20 million in taxable sales annually (attributable to the City of Dublin). Business A needs to invest $500,000 in building improvements. Business A enters into an agreement with the City to be reimbursed for their improvements. Business A generates the anticipated $20 million in year one. This results in $200,000 in new sales tax revenue to the CIty of Dublin. Of this amount, Business A is eligible for $100,000 in year one (50% of the new sales tax revenue to the City).
Sewer Capacity Assistance Program
In partnership with the Dublin San Ramon Services District (provider of water and sewer service), the City now offers financial assistance to businesses that require new or additional sewer capacity. As part of the Program, the City can provide up to 25% of new sewer capacity to the business.
Example
A prospective restaurant gets a fee estimate from DSRSD for sewer capacity in the amount of $300,000. The City of Dublin can contribute up to $75,000 in sewer capacity to that restaurant.
In addition to the City program, DSRSD does offer a financing program of up to $100,000 for users that require sewer capacity.
Facade Improvement Program
The City will offer financial assistance to businesses that are in need of repairing the exterior of their building.
City staff is also available to provide the following services:
