Local incentives provided by Moore County and several of its municipalities reimburse a percentage of real and personal property taxes paid by eligible companies that meet specific criteria for the creation of full-time jobs. The amount and reimbursement period vary based on the amount of project investment. Companies investing less than $3 million receive property tax reimbursements over a five-year period and companies investing $3 million or more receive reimbursements over a seven-year period.

Other discretionary local incentives may also be available on a project-by-project basis.

Local incentive grant guidelines are available for:

• Moore County
• Village of Pinehurst
• Town of Southern Pines
• Town of Aberdeen
• Town of Carthage
• Town of Robbins

Several state incentives are available to eligible businesses that meet certain criteria. In NC, counties are annually ranked based on economic well-being and assigned a tier designation. Moore County, with a Tier 3 designation and a 2024 average wage standard of $51,842, is one of the most prosperous counties in the state.
