The City of Nacogdoches offers tax abatements to historic structures located in Downtown Nacogdoches. The City of Nacogdoches may grant tax abatement on the increment in value added to a particular property by a specific development proposal that meets the economic goals and objectives of the city. The tax abatement applies to both exterior and interior work on a building located within the Downtown Historic Overlay District.

The City of Nacogdoches Planning Department has a Historic Restoration Grant Program for private property owners and government agencies other than the City of Nacogdoches. Funding for this program is provided through hotel/motel occupancy tax funds and provides $25,000 annually to be matched by private sources. The program offers a unique funding opportunity for small business owners located within the city’s Historic Overlay Zoning. Additionally, the Historic Restoration Grant Program can match a maximum of 50 percent needed by businesses within the Historic Overlay District.
