                   Notice of Intent 
 
The Notice of Intent (NOI) is provided to assist businesses which are expanding or locating in 
the  state  and  whose  county  tier  is  reclassified  or  census  tract  area  is  removed  from  the  Less 
Developed Census Tract listing. Timely filing of the NOI will allow a business to continue to 
claim the tier or census tract classification in effect for the year prior to the year the NOI is filed. 
                                                                              st
Please note that the NOI must be filed with DCA no later than March 31  after the rankings are 
released in order to continue to claim the prior year ranking. (i.e., to preserve the 2022 ranking, 
the NOI must be filed with DCA no later than March 31, 2023.)

taxpayer  will  create  over  the  next  three  (3)  years  and  should  at  least  equal  the  tier  threshold 
required. (Note that the minimum job threshold must be met in a single tax year and that new, 
full-time  jobs  must  conform  to  the  applicable  definitions  found  in  the  Job  Tax  Credit 
Regulations.)

 - For the less developed census tract, fill in (b) with the census tract number.
