Overview
Since 2010, all property tax revenues paid as TIF Increment in the Greater Downtown TIF are distributed to all taxing bodies in the same manner as if the TIF did not exist but for two redevelopment properties locally known as the Vantage and Emerson and exclusive of a single annual allocation for Village infrastructure debt service which is $1.8 million in 2017.
