  • Sales Tax on Construction Materials and Equipment: None during the project phase (usually 6-12 months).

  • Industrial Revenue Bonds: For larger projects in excess of $1-$1.5 million. The issuance of tax-exempt industrial revenue bonds can save a company a substantial amount of money - interest savings of approximately 2% begin to significantly offset bond closing costs.
