Research of TIF Properties • Checked 2 years of tax records to verify what properties were being recorded. • Mapped out the current properties that were being recorded by the county office as being in a TIF district.
Find Properties Not Recorded • Compared the last 2 tax years to verify properties not recorded. • Mapped out properties that were within the TIF borders but not recorded as such.
Analyzing the Results • Created individual area maps showing properties that were in question. • Gathered data on each property to see the amount of tax money that was being brought in and how it was dispersed.
Solutions • Divided City up into 24 sections • Created Individual maps on each area to highlight properties • Created detailed excel database to show all taxing information from the auditor office for the study • Provided auditor office with our reports to show properties along with property ID numbers to be recorded.
