Developing a Stronger Buda
In the last few years, the Buda EDC and the City have both prioritized business development to drive innovation and prosperity for Buda. As a result, businesses looking to develop land or make improvements to existing properties are at a significant advantage in Buda over other regional competitors. Here are just a few ways we support business leaders, site selectors, investors and more.

Site Selection Services
We offer a robust site selection tool that allows you to browse available properties as well as market data, area demographics and more. We combine this innovative technology with a personal, hands-on approach, oftentimes helping our businesses find unlisted properties or creative solutions to their development needs.
Financial Incentives
To support businesses looking to develop land or make improvements to existing properties, we streamlined our incentive process making it online and fileable. We have also year-over-year increased our incentive amount given to businesses large and small, knowing that an incentive can go a long when looking for a location.
Tax Rebates
To attract new industries and encourage retention and redevelopment of existing businesses, the Buda EDC offers property tax rebates. To find out if your business property qualifies, contact us.
Streamlined Permitting & Timelines
The City of Buda has easy online permitting systems that expedite the process and save valuable time for business owners. This is all through the City’s dedicated permit technician, who handles the permit system and increases responsiveness.
In the last year, the City of Buda has hired more planners and engineers to decrease the time it takes to open a business in Buda. We understand time in money, especially in this economy. A big change was hiring a Project Manager to walk businesses through the checklists and proactively communicate when things are needed.
