UEZ - URBAN ENTERPRISE ZONE

ABOUT THE Urban Enterprise Zone program

Benefits to UEZ firms include:


  • Businesses participating in the UEZ Program can charge half the standard sales tax rate on certain purchases, currently 3.3125% effective 1/1/2018
  • UEZ businesses may enjoy tax exemptions on certain purchases including capital equipment acquired and investments made to build a new facility, expand, or upgrade an existing facility.
  • A need for change was recognized and State economic development activities were consolidated, creating the New Jersey Business Action Center (BAC) in the Department of State. Depending on the project, UEZ benefits will be coordinated by the economic development team in the New Jersey Business Action Center (BAC) in the Department of State. The team includes development partners in the offices of the Governor’s and Lieutenant Governor, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“EDA”), the New Jersey Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Community Affairs, the Department of State and the local Mayor’s office.  Programs of interest to zone businesses include but are not limited to:
  • The New Jersey Business Action Center plays a key role in helping grow, retain and attract business to the State. The center serves as a “one-stop” shop for business. The team at the Center works to encourage entrepreneurship by supporting New Jersey’s businesses of all sizes, supporting global competitiveness of New Jersey companies, as well as to promote the State’s attractiveness as a vacation destination and business investment location nationally and internationally.
  • Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant, available through the EDA, (“BRRAG”) for relocation and retention of at least 250 non-retail jobs where the grant is a material factor.  Special limitations/bonuses for UEZs.
  • Assistance from the New Jersey Department of Labor through its One Stop Centers in hiring, training, and retraining existing or new employees.
