The City of Laredo created the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) Program to improve City Council Districts III and VIII by encouraging private investment in housing, businesses, and services in NEZ areas. The NEZ Program is the vehicle by which incentives like building permit fee waivers and municipal property tax abatement can be granted to homeowners, investor-owners and developers proposing new construction projects or rehabilitation projects that are located within the NEZ area.
