• Tax Increment Financing (TIF)– Tool used by local governments to allocate changes to
local taxes caused by new business development for a specific purpose.
– In a typical setting, the growth of property taxes associated with a new business will be applied to a purpose that has significant impact on the community.
– Examples of these are installation of water or sewer infrastructure, construction or expansion of roadways, or remediation of a brownfield.
