Jewell offers a 5-year Tax Abatement on new single dwelling homes built in the city limits of Jewell. Residents should apply at the Jewell City Hall and the request must be approved by the City Council.
Please note that tax must still be paid on the value of the lot. In addition, if improvements are made on the property
within the five-year tax abatement, the owner must pay tax on the improvement.
