Rachel Kilburg Varley, Economic Development Coordinator
Urban Renewal Area vs . TIF District
• Urban Renewal Areas & TIF Districts are two separate concepts that
work together
• Urban Renewal Area :
• Designated area where you conduct urban renewal projects
• i.e. infrastructure development, development agreements, blight remediation
• TIF District:
• The taxing district and funding mechanism to support those urban renewal
projects
• When you establish a TIF district, you capture the increment (increased tax
revenue) from new development to help rebate these projects
Establishing ( and Terminating) an Urban
Renewal Area & TIF District
Creating an URA/TIF District:
1. Resolution to adopt Urban Renewal Plan which establishes Urban Renewal
Area, defines type of URA (ie slum & blight vs. economic development), and
describes types of projects to be undertaken
2. Ordinance to adopt TIF District: Must located within URA.
Terminating an URA/TIF District follows same steps in reverse :
• TIF Districts sunset (expire) based on statutory limits — next slide
• URAs do not statutorily expire but are recommended to be terminated when
there is no active need.
