Morgan Hill Business Support
Fee Deferral Programs
A business that may be constructing their own building or significantly improving an old building can be required to pay Development Impact Fees. Development Impact Fees can be expensive. The City has implemented an installment financing plan that allows Development Impact Fee payments be spread over time to minimize the up front cost. The Sewer/Traffic/Underground Fee deferral program requires businesses pay the outstanding balance of Impact Fees over a period of five years.
More details on the Fee deferral program can be downloaded and reviewed. If you are interested in participating in the program, please drop us a line to get started.
Expedited Permitting Assistance
Morgan Hill offers businesses a one-stop approach to making the permit process transparent and expeditious. The City is committed to providing technical assistance and coordination with other City departments to move projects through the development approval process in a timely and predictable process and help minimize costs and increase productivity.
We are happy to be your advocate and mentor you through the process. Please contact us to get started
Use Tax Incentive Program
The Use Tax Incentive Program is a joint effort between businesses and the City, where we work together for mutual benefit in allocating use tax dollars back to the City of Morgan Hill. In exchange for undertaking the tax liability and reporting to the State of California, the City of Morgan Hill will reimburse you a portion of the local tax that was collected.
Firms making purchases of equipment, materials and fixtures from out of state will remit use tax to the State of California through either a:
• Direct Pay Permit
• Sub Seller’s Permit
Firms designate “Morgan Hill” as the first function use of the equipment. The City will reimburse you for the administrative burden of monitoring and allocating the tax.
Please contact us BEFORE you make your equipment purchase so we can verify eligibility within the program.
