New Construction Tax Rebate in Dilworth

Dilworth offers a two-year property tax rebate on new single-family homes with no cap on home value. The rebate covers general taxes paid to the city, Clay County, and the school district — both the building and the land. On a $250,000 home, the estimated savings are approximately $5,500 over two years. The rebate becomes available once a certificate of occupancy is issued. One thing to know: the incentive is not transferable — if you sell the home during the rebate period, the remaining rebate ends at closing. Bonus perk: new-home buyers also get a free family pool pass for two years. Program details current as of August 2026.
