What Madrid has to offer you! Information

The City of Madrid offers a 5 year tax abatement on residential development and 5 years on commercial businesses. Contact City Hall
The local option sales tax took effect in 2004. The sales tax fund will be used for community improvement. Money spent in local businesses provides property
tax dollars that support our school and city. It also creates new jobs for people
in our community and gives them the ability to reinvest their paychecks locally.

A New DVD, produced by MAC, showing what Madrid has to offer is available. Contact Don Lincoln or City Hall

Trail Etiquette Tip
When coming upon a slower moving trail user call out in a friendly voice something like "passing you on the left!" Make sure you call out while there is still some distance between you. So the trail user has a chance to react and always travel on the right side of the trail.
