Build Smarter with Cincinnati’s Tax Incentives

Building within the City of Cincinnati can unlock major financial benefits through the Residential Tax Abatement Program.
Here’s how it works:

• You pay taxes only on the original property value—not the new construction value—for up to 15 years.
• Example: Build a $400,000 home on a $100,000 lot—you’ll pay taxes only on the $100,000 base value during the abatement period.
• Green-certified homes (LEED Silver or higher) may qualify for extended abatement terms.

This program can save homeowners tens of thousands of dollars over time—making custom building in Cincinnati a financially savvy choice.
