Relocation Information
Find the perfect home. Moundridge has much to offer in rentals and properties for sale. Few communities can point to more attractive residential areas and take pride in cherished older homes. Even with continued city improvement, tax rates still remain reasonable. Tree-lined streets and neat attractive homes typify the growth and well-being in Moundridge.
What's happening in Moundridge? Well, many community leaders in Moundridge would like to see the City grow. They think that a progressive City with great schools, great job opportunities, and wonderful people provides an ideal place for people to live. They want to share the experience with others. City leaders feel so strongly about this in fact, that they have enacted a grant program which they believe to be unprecedented in the State. An Ordinance was passed which will grant $6,000 to any person completing a new residence on any vacant lot in the City prior to August 1, 2014. Yes, that's $6,000 cash. If someone builds a $120,000 home this grant is equal to 5% of the purchase price. Quite a discount. In new development areas which charge City financed special assessments against the cost of lots, the cash payment is dropped in favor of forgiving the assessment (with an estimated value of $6,000 to $7,000).
We'd like you to explore the possibility of making Moundridge your new home. Come and look around. Stop by the City offices and we'll answer your questions. We'll even show you around if you like. You deserve to live in a place like Moundridge, let us help you make it happen. If you have any questions email the City of Moundridge.
WHEREAS, Moundridge is a richly diverse community of more than 1700 residents whose roots span several centuries of immigration to this county and this city; and
WHEREAS, Moundridge's economic, social and cultural life is dependent on a healthy climate in which to live, work, raise and educate children; and
WHEREAS, Moundridge civic, cultural, and economic leaders and residents of the city desire to maintain and enhance respect for and celebration of people of all races, cultures, religious, genders, disabilities, national origins, languages and economic status.
NOW THEREFORE: as Mayor of Moundridge I encourage the citizens to advance basic respect and human dignity in every aspect of our community life. We join together to stand against bigotry, prejudice, intimidation and hatred of any kind. We will promote those goals and actions that bring us together to welcome the values and contributions of all who become a part of our community.
