Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOTs)

PILOT agreements allow developers to pay a negotiated annual fee instead of standard property taxes, typically for 30 years. The municipality keeps 100% of the PILOT payment; school and county taxes are not collected on these properties. Data is from the User Friendly Budget filings (2017–present); 2021 data is unavailable because the 2022 budget used a legacy format with no per-project detail.

Annual PILOT Revenue

Billing shown in thousands (K). “Full Tax” = taxes that would be owed at the combined rate without the agreement. “Tax Savings” = Full Tax minus PILOT billing — the annual benefit to the developer. Agreement dates from the 2025 UFB filing; some projects show 2022 agreement dates despite earlier payments (agreements were restructured). 2021 per-project data unavailable (legacy budget format).
