Minnesota Assignment of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a mechanism that allows local governments to use future tax revenue to fund current public infrastructure projects. It works by creating a “frozen” base value of the property taxes that are collected in a designated area. Any increase in the property tax revenue, or “tax increment”, that is generated from new development in the area is assigned to the public entity responsible for the infrastructure project. There are two types of Minnesota Assignment of Tax Increment Financing. The first is a fixed assignment, which assigns all the tax increment to the public entity. This is a one-time payment that is collected by the public entity and is used to fund the infrastructure project. The second type is a variable assignment, which assigns a percentage of the tax increment to the public entity. This type of TIF allows for a more flexible arrangement since the public entity can receive a larger or smaller portion of the tax increment depending on the amount of development that takes place in the area.
