Tax Increment Financing
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a local economic development policy and program that is enabled and guided by state law. TIF can be a useful tool to catalyze economic and community development. It uses anticipated future increases in property tax revenues to generate incremental tax revenues from a specific development project or projects across a designated district to help pay for current costs associated with development or enhancements to the district. These can be public and/or private costs.
