Special Taxing Districts
The City may establish or approve the establishment of special districts that can impose special assessments and/or taxes in order to pay for public improvements and/or to eliminate blight. These districts are typically geographic areas such as a neighborhood or corridor that are contiguously connected. The most common special taxing districts are Neighborhood Improvement Districts (NID), Community Improvement Districts (CID), and Transportation Development Districts (TDD).
Property Tax Abatement
Tax abatement is offered through a variety of programs geared to job creation, private investment, and redevelopment. Typically, property taxes continue to be paid on land and improvements based on their value prior to the new investment. All, or a portion, of the incremental increase in property taxes is abated for an established period of time. This incentive is sometimes referred to by the respective Missouri Statute as Chapter 99 (Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority), or Chapter 353 (Urban Redevelopment Corporation).
Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
All taxes owed and a portion of all of the incremental increase in taxes resulting from the redevelopment is captured and redirected to pay redevelopment project costs. Taxing jurisdictions continue to receive the taxes based on the pre-development value. A Tax Increment Financing (TIF) project may also capture new economic activity taxes after the TIF is approved. All new Business Personal Property taxes created immediately flow to the respective taxing jurisdictions while the TIF is in existence.
See the Incentive Policy link at the bottom for more details.
