Tax Increment Financing (TIF) + District Improvement Financing (DIF)

Many states offer a version of these financing tools for economic development-related improvements and developments. We can help you assess and implement them in your community.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and District Improvement Financing (DIF) are economic development-related funding tools available in some US states. Laws vary from state to state, but TIF and DIF are typically be used to pay for infrastructure and development or redevelopment projects that are part of a community’s long-term economic development strategy.

Camoin Associates has extensive experience in the analysis and implementation of TIF and DIF for many different public and private sector clients as part of our Real Estate Development and Economic and Fiscal Impact Analysis services.

DIF and TIF funding can be used for a variety of economic development-related projects
