In an effort to promote growth in the commercial business district in the Town of Vance,
the Town has assembled an incentive package for new Commercial and Industrial
development.
Water-Citizens Water Service has just completed a 2,000,000 gallons per day water
supply expansion in the area. Financial assistance for water line extensions will be
examined on a case by case basis.
Sewer-The Town of Vance has invested 5.5 million dollars in a new Waste Water
Treatment Facility and new sewer lines. For a limited time, the Town may waive impact
fees and connection fees for new commercial development on a case by case basis.
Advalorem Taxes-The Town of Vance has no Advalorem taxes in place at this time.
Sales Tax – The town of Vance has a 2% sales tax. The State of Alabama has a 4% sales
tax and Tuscaloosa County has 3% sales tax, Total 9%. In some cases the sales tax can be
waived during the construction of the development. This would be considered as law
would allow.
Grants-The Town of Vance Industrial Development Board will assist in the pursuit of all
appropriate grants from the Federal and State Governments on behalf on the interested
developers.
We have an aggressive Council that has a pro business agenda. It is our job to help create
an environment that induces successful business. The Town looks forward to discussing
your development with you and making Vance your destination.
Keith Mahaffey, Mayor
