The Abatement Register The data
What this costs

The register is free. The dataset behind it is not.

Every one of the 1014 published agreements can be read here for nothing, with the operative sentence quoted and the page it sits on. That does not change.

What is for sale is the thing you cannot assemble by clicking 1014 pages: every schedule scored on one scale, ranked against its peers, with the binding language classified and the remedy recorded.

What is in the file.

Plus the superseded-agreement mapping — which filings have been replaced and by what — and a methodology sheet stating every exclusion.

The benchmark

Four years of paying nothing.

Across 362 active, standalone Texas property tax agreements, the median is equivalent to 4.0 years at 100% abatement. One in ten gives away ten years or more. Tax increment agreements median 5.0 years, sales and revenue rebates 1.9, project cost reimbursements 0.5.

Those four numbers did not exist before this file. They are computed from the executed contracts, every one of which is published here free with the schedule it came from.

A single county or metro, a sector cut, deadline monitoring for named companies, or the register kept current as agreements are approved, amended and superseded. Invoiced, no subscription to cancel.

If you want to see the shape of it first, name a county and I will send you that county’s rows at no charge.

What it is not

Three things said plainly.

It is not legal advice. It is what the executed contracts say, quoted, with page numbers. What that means for a particular deal is a lawyer’s job.

It is not a compliance record. Where a deadline has passed, that is a fact about the date. Nothing here says whether the obligation was met, because Texas does not require anyone to record it.

Dates are never computed. Where a contract sets a deadline as a period running from an event, it is recorded that way and not turned into a calendar date. A register that guesses is worse than no register.
