At Baker Tilly, we approach Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as a tool to help communities prepare for and attract quality investment. Our staff of economic development, real estate, and financial specialists can help you develop a community-driven TIF approach to invest public funds in meaningful development projects that meet community objectives and create catalytic economic impact.

Outcomes you can expect:

• Identify the geographic area that supports your local economic development goals
• Establish a strategic plan and policy to guide the expenditure of TIF funds
• Determine the existence, type and extent of "blight" as required to qualify an area as a TIF district
• Complete a TIF district redevelopment plan and navigate the public process required to establish the TIF district
• Evaluate varying community impacts of proposed TIF projects to make decisions about the use of public funds
• Estimate the revenue from proposed TIF projects to determine the financial feasibility of public investment
• Establish realistic, cooperative, and positive development agreements and community benefits agreements
• Ensure ongoing performance review and auditing
