LINK TO PAST MEETING PACKETS & MINUTES
TIFA
Meets the third Tuesday of the month at 1:00 p.m. at City Hall.
In 1983, the Hart City Council created a Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) and adopted a Development Plan to halt the decline in property values, increase proper tax valuation, eliminate the causes of the decline in property values, and promote growth within a designated area of the City. TIFA captures a portion of the increase in values to invest in public improvements and strengthen the Development Area. This is to be accomplished by using the incremental tax revenues generated in the Development Area to make public improvements and induce private redevelopment. It is anticipated that the public improvements proposed and the private improvements they induce will provide long-term stability and growth. This will greatly benefit all taxing jurisdictions, which to a significant degree are dependent upon the well-being of the TIFA District.
