What are TIFs?
• Created by municipality (state statute)• Designed to subsidize some business project in
“blighted” or under-served area• “But for” concept – The project WOULD NOT happen
except for receiving public subsidy• Boundaries cross political and community boundaries• Captures “incremental” property taxes ABOVE base
when district was created• Lasts 23 years

How Do TIFs Work?When the TIF is created, the city tallies up all the
property taxes generated by district in that year
(called the "base" amount). After that, all property tax increases above the base (the
"increment") are channeled to the TIF
district.
The property taxes collected from
properties inside the district BEFORE the district was created that go to units of government stays
FLAT for the life of the TIF (23 years).
