Village of Bartlett
Home MenuTIF Reports
Illinois law allows units of local governments to designate areas within their jurisdiction as TIF districts. These districts dedicate sales tax revenues and additional property tax revenues generated within the TIF for improvements within the district to encourage new economic development and job creation. Funds may be used for costs associated with the development or redevelopment of property within the TIF, allowing blighted, declining and underperforming areas to again become viable, and allowing these areas to compete with vacant land at the edge of urban areas.
For additional information, see this Resource Guide to Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
Projects in TIF districts typically include:
- Redevelopment of substandard, obsolete, or vacant buildings
- Financing public infrastructure improvements, including streets, sewer, water, in declining areas
- Cleaning up polluted areas
- Improving the viability of downtown business districts; rehabilitating historic properties
- Providing infrastructure needed to develop a site for new industrial or commercial use
Each year the Village is required to file a report with the Illinois Comptroller’s Office for each Tax Increment Financing District within the Village. A link to the TIF reports that were filed are below.
