The City of Adel City Council has enacted an Urban Revitalization Plan, commonly referred to as a tax abatement program, for revitalization within the City’s boundaries.

Adel, Iowa is a quiet community nestled in the North Raccoon River valley boasting about 50 residential lots ready for construction and also several historic homes waiting to be restored to their former splendor.

The primary objectives of the Plan are to encourage new construction and remodeling of residential properties, improve economic conditions and housing opportunities in the area, and take steps to enhance the general attractiveness of the community.

Key benefits of the Plan include 100% abatement of taxes for:
• Seven years on improvements made during the 2011 calendar year
• Five years on improvements made during the 2012 calendar year
• Three years on improvements made during the 2013 calendar year.

Additional information about the program may be found on the City’s website or by contacting City Administrator Chad Bird.
