The URTE program's objective is to encourage private investments in targeted areas of the city by providing an exemption on the increase in property taxes resulting from improvements. The URTE program works as an incentive to help reinvigorate Davenport.  The program was established to help soften the burden of high property taxes that can result from improving a home/property.
