FILOT PAYMENTS Clause Samples
The FILOT (Fee In Lieu Of Tax) Payments clause establishes the obligation for a company or property owner to make specified payments to a local government instead of paying traditional property taxes. Typically, this clause outlines the calculation method, payment schedule, and duration of these alternative payments, often as part of an economic development agreement to incentivize investment. By replacing standard property taxes with negotiated fees, the clause provides predictability for the business and supports local economic growth while ensuring the municipality receives a steady revenue stream.
