Assembly passes TIF Dist Bill

Voting 96-0, the Assembly passed AB19 related to the timeframe of processing TIF District applications and documents. This bill was specifically focused on the village of Edgar.

- Under the current tax incremental financing program, a city or village may create a tax incremental district (TID) in part of its territory to foster development if at least 50 percent of the area to be included in the TID is blighted, in need of rehabilitation or conservation, suitable for industrial sites, or suitable for mixed−use development. Before a city or village may create a TID, several steps and plans are required.

These steps and plans include public hearings on the proposed TID within specified time frames, preparation and adoption by the local planning commission of a proposed project plan for the TID, approval of the proposed project plan by the common council or village board, and adoption of a resolution by the common council or village board that creates the TID as of a date provided in the resolution.

Once these steps are accomplished, the city clerk is required to complete certain forms and an application and submit the documents to the Department of Revenue (DOR) on or before December 31 of the year in which the TID is created. Upon receipt of the application, DOR is required to certify the full aggregate value of the taxable property in the city, which constitutes the tax incremental base of the TID. - Legislative Reference Bureau -
