The River Edge Redevelopment Zone (RERZ) Program

The River Edge Redevelopment Zone Program (RERZ) helps revive and redevelop environmentally challenged properties adjacent to rivers in Illinois. The River Edge Redevelopment Zone Act authorizes the Illinois Department of Commerce to designate zones in five cities: Aurora, East St. Louis, Elgin, Peoria, and Rockford.

RERZ provides several incentives authorized by State law.

  • Building Materials Sales Tax Exemption: Allows for exemption of sales tax on construction materials for non-residential projects within the RERZ. Forms necessary to claim this "point-of-sales" exemption are available from the local administrator.
