About the Advanced Tax Increment Finance Reference Guide
The Advanced Tax Increment Finance Reference Guide is published in partnership with the CDFA Training Institute and CDFA's Tax Increment Finance Coalition. The Advanced TIF Guide builds upon CDFA’s introductory offerings by exploring in-depth the complexities and transformative potential of tax increment financing. The guide examines model policies, guidelines & procedures and outlines the TIF process from A to Z. Throughout the book, clear guidance is offered for assessing project feasibility and monitoring the performance of active TIF districts. In addition, the guide outlines the critical elements of state TIF statutes that should be known in order to ensure project success and long term economic prosperity.
