What is TIF?

The City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development defines TIF:

Tax Increment Financing is a special funding tool used by the City of Chicago to promote public and private investment across the city. Funds are used to build and repair roads and infrastructure, clean polluted land and put vacant properties back to productive use, usually in conjunction with private development projects. Funds are generated by growth in the Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) of properties within a designated district over a period of 23 years.

What's here?

Details and links to important documents about projects funded by Tax Increment Financing districts in Chicago. Essential documents include:

  • Redevelopment Agreements (RDAs): Legal contracts between the city and developers that outline project requirements, TIF funding amounts, and compliance terms
    • Community Development Commission (CDC) Staff Reports: Planning staff recommendations presented to the CDC before project approval
  • Certificates of Completion: Documents certifying that a TIF-funded project has met all requirements

Data notes

  • Projects approved here mean they were approved by the TIF Investment Committee. Projects must still be approved by City Council.
  • Many projects are mapped incorrectly, and will be shown at Chicago's City Hall at LaSalle and Washington Streets. We are working to correct these locations.
  • Mapping issues We are unable to map 303 proposed TIF-funded projects (out of 1,496 citywide), which is a limitation of the data source.
