The Collier County Board of County Commissioners created Innovation Zones in 2010 to promote economic development and diversify the local economy by encouraging the construction of corporate headquarters, manufacturing plants, and improving neighborhoods. Under the Innovation Zone program, county commissioners create a zone, set a base tax year, and any tax increases collected in that zone are deposited into that zone's Innovation Trust Fund.
Revenues are deposited into each zone's Trust Fund annually. Revenue from increased property values in each zone's geographic boundaries helps pay for projects in that zone. Apply for the Innovation Trust Fund
