The Ohio Enterprise Zone program is an economic development tool administered by municipal and county governments that provides real and personal property tax exemptions to businesses making investments in Ohio. In order to use the Enterprise Zone program, communities petition to the Ohio Department of Development for certification of a geographical zone with a contiguous boundary. Once a zone is certified, communities may enter into negotiated agreements with businesses that invest in the zone. To search for an existing Enterprise Zone or agreement, click here. A Business interested in pursuing this incentive should contact the local Enterprise Zone Manager of the municipality or county in which the potential investment would be located.
