Sustainable Urban Planning
Tax increment financing (TIF) is a public financing method used to promote urban development by capturing the future tax benefits generated from increased property values within a designated district. This funding mechanism allows municipalities to invest in infrastructure and other improvements, with the expectation that these enhancements will lead to economic growth and increased property taxes. By using the additional revenue from increased taxes, local governments can finance projects without raising existing taxes or relying on additional debt.
