Welcome
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a special funding tool used by the
City of San Antonio to promote public and private investment in
areas where little to no private sector investment is currently
taking place. A portion of collected taxes are contributed to a fund
that is used to help revitalize a designated area of town called a
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ). The funds are used to build and repair roads and infrastructure and rehabilitate historic facilities and existing vacant buildings.
Now a function of the Planning & Community Development Department, the TIF program has evolved since 1998 to ensure that TIF funds fully support the City's primary revitalization programs and initiatives. Learn more about the City's TIF Program at our Frequently Asked Questions page ....Read More |
