Urban Enterprise Zone

About the Urban Enterprise Zone

The Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) is a tax incentive program that aims to foster economic growth and revitalization in designated urban communities. The City of Perth Amboy’s UEZ Program was enacted as one of many across the State of New Jersey and has since worked to encourage businesses to develop and create private sector jobs through public and private investment.

To participate in the Perth Amboy UEZ program, businesses and property owners must be located in the UEZ mapped corridors, registered and certified by the New Jersey UEZ Program. Eligible businesses may then qualify for reduced sales, tax exemptions for capital improvements and have access to local programs & projects that support our community. Learn more about by visiting the State of New Jersey's UEZ website or learn how to register below.
