FY2024 Proposed Budget

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING FUNDS

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts have been established in various locations in Iowa City to encourage economic development. TIF revenues are used to repay debt incurred for specific projects and to pay property tax rebates on increased valuation per development-specific agreements within the districts. As TIF agreements expire and/or their legal requirements are satisfied, tax revenue generated by the incremental valuation (increase in property values for the district since it was established) is distributed to all taxing authorities. The objective of Iowa City’s TIF capacity is to provide gap financing for development projects which meet the adopted goals and criteria of the respective TIF district. The City has established thirteen TIF districts. The table below presents debt that has been certified against the City’s TIF districts and their respective collections to repay those debts. Not presented in the budget are the Industrial Park Road, Highway 6 Industrial Park, Northgate Corporate Park, Lower Muscatine Road, and the Camp Cardinal urban renewal areas; these areas have no outstanding tax increment debt.
