Tax increment financing (TIF)

In an urban renewal area the property tax on new value above a base year (the "increment") goes to the city's TIF fund instead of the county, schools and other taxing bodies. Tiffin uses it to pay bonds for streets, water and parks and, under development agreements, to rebate part of a business's new taxes or to give it a grant. Here: every urban renewal area and addition with the ordinances and resolutions that made it, every development agreement with its terms as printed, and the rebates the archive shows by year.

Unofficial register compiled from the ordinances, resolutions, minutes, certifications and urban renewal reports in this archive. Every figure is as printed, with its page. Payments are the ones the archive shows (state reports from FY2021, claims lists and payables lists); a year or payment the archive does not hold is missing, so totals here are a lower bound. The City of Tiffin's records govern.

Approved is the council's resolution; the cap is the first amount printed in the agreement, its resolution or the county certification (each agreement page lists every figure with its source). Paid is what the archive shows, not what was paid in all.

Rebates by fiscal year

The fiscal year runs July 1 to June 30 and is named by the year it ends.

FY2022 has no report in the archive.

Urban renewal areas and their amendments

An addition puts property into an area (a resolution designates it, an ordinance divides its taxes: the TIF district); a plan amendment adds projects; a deletion takes property out. Dates are the council's action as recorded. No expiry is printed for the areas in the archive.
