Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Areas

The Active Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Areas(PDF, 160KB) table provides a list of active TIF areas throughout Denver. An important component of the Department of Finance’s mission is to encourage the redevelopment of underutilized property in Denver. To support this objective, the city partners with the Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA) to provide financial assistance for redevelopment projects that enhance neighborhood vitality and help drive economic growth across the city. One of the tools used to facilitate redevelopment projects is TIF. TIF is a financing tool that allows incremental property and/or sales taxes to supplement the required financing of the redevelopment project.

Additional information on the DURA and the mechanics of TIF can be found on DURA’s website.
