Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Development

Introduction to Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Districts

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a financial tool state lawmakers gave local governments to support and encourage economic development, redevelopment and improvement projects to a designated area of the community.

A TIF District is created through a series of ordinances. A redevelopment plan for the TIF District is created which outlines the goals and redevelopment activities. A TIF District, once approved, will typically remain in effect for a maximum of 23 years. It is important to remember that TIF is not a new tax.
