Introduced
by
To establish new revenue limits, and new reporting and transparency requirements, for downtown development authorities. The bill would exempt new property tax millages approved starting in 2017 from having their revenue “captured” by “tax increment financing authorities” (TIFAs) like DDAs. A TIFA "captures" the “increment” of extra local property tax revenue that supposedly will result from it spending borrowed money on various subsidies and projects within its jurisdiction. The tax revenue “captured” from other public bodies is used to pay off the debt. The bill is part of a package comprised of House Bills 5851 to 5856 that apply these new standards to different types of TIFA.
