TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
IN FLORIDA
The Sunshine State has experienced explosive growth over the
past thirty years. As a result, the state faces problems created
by this growth in population and the resulting demands on public
services, particularly its infrastructurel. Comprehensive plans
mandated by the state's landmark growth management legislation 2
are to guide development patterns for the next several years and
will affect where public resources will be directed and private
development encouraged.
In recent years there has been an increased reuse of
existing urban centers, central business districts and
neighborhoods, and this is expected to continue into the future.
This reuse will likely be in the form of either rehabilitation or
revitalizing of existing resources or new infill development. An
increased emphasis on redevelopment should result in a more
efficient use of existing infrastructure and services.
But the economics o~ redevelopment in Florida often
prevent the successful development of a project unless public
assistance is provided. This assistance can take many forms
including, site assembly, relaxed regulatory requirements,
expedited plan review, installation of public facilities, and tax-
exempt project financing. Since most Florida local governments
have committed their traditional revenue sources or politically do

not want to increase tax revenues 3, tax increment revenues have in
the past been used and are expected to continue to be used in ~ome
form by local governments to finance redevelopment.
Tax Increment Financing ("TIF") has been used in the
United states for over thirty-five (35) years as a means of
financing redevelopment projects. Initially used in California in
1952, tax increment financing was introduced as a means to raise
local matching money n~cessary to obtain federal funding 4 through
the urban renewal program. S However, the use of TIF has since
expanded to fund entire redevelopment proj ects at the state or
local level without necessarily resorting to federal funds.6
TIF utilizes the incremental increase in ad valorem tax
revenue within a designated geographic area to finance
redevelopment projects within that area. As property values in an
area rise above an established aggregate valuation (often described
as the "frozen" tax base), tax increment is generated by applying
the millage rate to that increase in value and depositing in a
trust fund an amount equal to such increased tax revenue.7 This
trust fund is the source for repayment of indebtedness. In some
states the deposit is made by the tax collector directly to the
trust fund.~ In Florida, however, ad valorem taxes are collected
by the tax collector in each county, remitted to the local
governments, and then appropriations of the tax increment are made
by "taxing authorities." Those appropriations may be made from any
source available to the local government, but they must be in an

amount equal to the ad valorem tax revenue increase in the
redevelopment area.9
Florida's community Redevelopment Act
History. During the 1950s and 1960s, redevelopment in Florida
was governed by special legislative acts which applied to those
local areas . engaged in re~evelopment programs. 10 At that time
redevelopment used approaches similar to federal urban renewal
programs and had mixed results. As Florida grew in the post-war
years it had no state-wide coordinated approach or policy to
redevelopment.
The lack of a statewide approach to redevelopment ended
in 1969 when the Florida legislature enacted the community
Redevelopment Act. 11 This Act provided for public-private
redevelopment efforts in slum and blighted areas which were
designated as such by the cities and counties in which they are
located. The Redevelopment Act authorized various redevelopment
activities 12, but relied on local, not state government, to
initiate, undertake and implement redevelopment. Tax increment
financing (TIF) was not included in the original Redevelopment
Act.l3 Amendments to the Redevelopment Act in 1977 authorized tax
increment financing of community redevelopment projects.14 In
1980, the Supreme Court of Florida upheld the Redevelopment Act and
tax increment financing to be in conformity with the Florida
Constitution in the case of state v. Miami Beach Redevelopment
Aaency . IS

Though the Miami Beach decision settled the major state
constitutional issues, the Florida courts and legislature continued
to "fine tune" the Redevelopment Act. In 1982, a water management
district was determined not to be obligated to appropriate its tax
increment to a redevelopment trust fund. 16 In the same year, the
Supreme Court of Florida .approved the validation of a tax
increment revenues-secured bond issue to finance acquisition of
property located in a redevelopment area for resale to a private
developer. 11
The Redevelopment Act was amended in 1983 to clarify the
use of redevelopment trust monies and calculations of tax
increment. The Act was further amended to clarify the application
of state ethics and conflict of interest laws to redevelopment
officials.18 In 1984 and 1985 amendments to the Redevelopment Act
clarified what constitutes "redevelopment," revised which entities
are "taxing authorities," restricted the use of "increment
revenues" to certain uses, and provided for notices to "taxing
authorities. ,,19 By 1986, a county's broad challenge to a
redevelopment program and a city's use of TIF to finance it was
rejected by an intermediate appeals court.20
Recent years have seen an increased use of the Redevelopment Act by
local governments and the statutory amendments have been limited to
clarifications or adjustments to property disposition and the role
of affordable housing in redevelopment efforts.21
Redevelopment Activities. Florida redevelopment activities
are initiated by the governing body of a city or county (e.g., a
4

I

city commission or a Board of County Commissioners) This
governmental body adopts a resolution, 22 finding that one or aore
slum or blighted areas 23 or a shortage of housing affordable to
low or moderate income persons, including the elderly, exists
within its jurisdiction. This resolution only finds that the
"rehabilitation, conservation, or redevelopment, or a combination
thereof," of the area is necessary.~
Upon its finding of slum or blight, the governing body
of the local government must further find the need for a community
redevelopment agency ("CRA") to function within that local
government to carry out the purposes of the Redevelopment Act. 25
The governing body by resolution may designate itself as the CRA,
create a separate CRA by ordinance, or designate a pre-existing
downtown development entity. 26
The next step in the redevelopment process is to prepare
a plan for redevelopment within the previously designated slum or
blighted area (now designated as a "community redevelopment
area").v This plan can be prepared by the CRA, the city or county
which created the CRA, or any private person.28 After it has been
prepared, the eRA submits the proposed redevelopment plan to the
"local planning agency" 29 for its review and recommendations as to
the conformity of the proposed plan with the city or county
comprehensive plan. The local planning agency then has up to 60
days to review the proposed redevelopment plan and submit its
recommendations to the CRA. After 60 days (if the local planning
agency has not returned the proposed plan) or upon earlier receipt

I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
of the local planning agency's recommendations, the CRA may
consider the proposed plan.3o If the CRA approves. the
redevelopment plan, it is then submitted, together with its
recommendation, to the governing body of the city or county which
created the CRA. 31
The governing body of the city or county which created
the CRA then publishes a notice of a public hearing and its
intention to consider the proposed redevelopment plan. 32 After
the public hearing, the city or county governing body that held the
hearing may either approve the community redevelopment plan,
provided certain findings are made, reject it or return it to the
CRA for review and possible changes. 33 Upon approval by the
governing body, the redevelopment plan is in effect for the
community redevelopment area and the governing body directs the CRA
implement the plan. 34 A redevelopment plan may be amended or
modified after its initial adoption.~
Redevelopment Trust Fund. A redevelopment trust fund is to be
established for the community redevelopment area.36 (While the
statue uses the mandatory "shall," it is unclear if the creation of
the trust fund is mandatory). Monies allocated to and deposited in
the trust fund are used by the CRA to finance redevelopment in the
area pursuant to the plan. 37
A redevelopment trust fund is created by the governing
body that created the CRA by enactment of an ordinance establishing
the fund. That ordinance must also provide for the funding of the
redevelopment trust fund for the duration of the redevelopment

plan.38 The ordinance further establishes the' base level of
aggregate assessed values 39 within the redevelopment area fo~ tax
increment purposes at the level of the most recent assessment roll
used for the taxation of real property in the redevelopment area
prior to the effective date of the ordinance. 40 The "most recent
roll" is the preliminary roll submitted by each county property
appraiser to the state Department of Revenue by July 1.41 However,
there is some split within the state and some trust funds use the
final roll which is often not completed until much later in the
year.
The amount of the "increment" is determined annually and
is 95% of the difference between the current ad valorem millage
rate applied to the current real property assessed values within
the redevelopment area and the current rate applied to the "frozen"
level of aggregate property assessments.42 The calculation of tax
increment is according to the following formula: current assessed
value minus base assessed value equals the incremental increase in
value which is multiplied by the current millage rage to obtain the
tax increment increase. Ninety-five percent of that amount is the
required tax increment appropriation. While not required by the
Redevelopment Act, the eRA should annually deliver to each taxing
authority a notice of that entity's required increment
appropriation.
Each "taxing authority" 43 must annually appropriate an
amount no less than the "increment revenues" calculated for its
millage rate and deposit it in the redevelopment trust fund.~ The

appropriation can be from any funds available' to the taxing
author i ty . 4S Payment is due October 1 of each year and if not made
by January 1, the taxing authority must pay an additional 5%, plus
1% per month thereafter until paid.46 The obligation of each
"taxing authority" to annually appropriate the increment continues
so long as any indebtedness incurred by the CRA as a result of
redevelopment remains outstanding, but not to exceed thirty (30)
years.47
Revenue Bonds and Notes. Revenue bonds, notes and other
obligations issued pursuant to section 163.387 of the Redevelopment
Act are to be paid solely from revenues deposited in the
redevelopment trust fund. The lien on those revenues for repayment
of these obligations does not attach until the revenues are
deposited in the trust fund.48 Bonds, notes or other obligations
secured by tax increment revenues do not constitute a debt,
liability, or obligation or the pledge of any local governing body,
the state of Florida or any of its political subdivisions. Also
they are not subject to the provisions of any other law or charter
relating to their authorization, issuance or sale. 49 The statute
expressly states that any bonds or other obligations issued under
the Redevelopment Act are declared to be for an "essential public
and governmental purpose" and are exempt from certain state
taxes. so
When authorized by resolution or ordinance of the
governing body that created the CRA, the local government or the
CRA may issue redevelopment revenue bonds, notes or other

obligations to finance the "undertaking of any community
redevelopment. "SI The security for such bonds, notes or other
obligations may be based upon either the anticipated assessed
valuation of the completed redevelopment S2 and other revenues
legally available.s3 In anticipation of the sale of such bonds or
obligations, the local government or eRA may issue bond anticipa-
tion notes. These redevelopment revenue bonds, notes or other
obligations do not constitute indebtedness within the meaning of
any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction, and
are not subject to the provision of any other law or charter
relating to the authorization, issuance and sale of bonds.~
CONCLUSION
In future years as areas decline, Florida local
governments will have to increase their use of tax increment to
accomplish redevelopment of their blighted areas. By its very
nature, such redevelopment will require both public and private
investment, and tax increment has become an accepted form for the
public investment. The combined public-private nature of downtown
redevelopment will also dictate the tax treatment of debt incurred
by a local government to finance the redevelopment and, therefore,
force some difficult choices upon the community. To avoid i't~s
bonds not being tax-exempt, the local government may have to
provide a larger subsidy to private redevelopers than it would
otherwise or decide to pursue a more public works project approach.
Recent projects in Florida indicate an increased use of
redevelopment and tax increment to finance housing projects or

large infrastructure projects (such as major highway improvements)
that do not have other sources of funds. As a result,. tax
increment, which often is not sufficient to pay the entire cost of
a proj ect, is used as II seed II money to advance a proj ect on a
priority list. Tax increment has found its niche in the
redevelopment of Florida and has become an accepted tool for local
governments to use to accomplish their redevelopment objectives.

CITY OF CLEARWATER
Interdepartment Correspondence
FROM:
Betty Deptula, City Manager
Scott Shuford, Central Permitting Director c::? J'
SUBJECT:
Density on the Barrier Island Issue
COPIES:
Kathy Rice, Deputy City Manager
Bill Baker, Assistant City Manager
Carole Greiner, Special Assistant to the City Manager
DATE:
March 2, 1995
At the February 27, 1995 City Commission meeting, Commission members asked staff for a "recap" concerning
the density on coastal barrier islands issue. Attached please find a memo written to the former City Manager,
Michael Wright, in September of 1993 concerning this matter.
Staff has been in touch with the Department of Community Affairs on this issue this week. DCA indicates that
it is extremely unlikely that any significant density increase (without a corresponding decrease in some other
area) would be favorably considered by the state. This holds even if the increase in density does not increase
evacuation times, require additional infrastructure or create level of service problems.
The answer to the question about increased density on the beach is currently the same as it was in 1993 - It will
be very difficult to achieve an increase in density.
Should you have questions or comments, please contact me.

Density Increases on Coastal Barrier Islands

The Commission requested that we contact other communities to see if they had adopted
amendments to their comprehensive plans allowing an increases in density in the coastal
barrier islands in their jurisdiction.
To date, we have received 15 responses from the communities listed below. The only
density increase that we have been notified of is an increase in the conservation plan
classification for portions of Pasco County where a density "increase" of one dwelling unit
per 40 gross acres (up from no density permitted) was allowed.
The City of Miami Beach has notified us that they may be seeking to increase the
development density on certain portions of their redevelopment areas. However, this would
be done commensurate with a reduction in density for surrounding parcels, thereby
maintaining the overall density for the redevelopment areas at the current level.
I will keep you advised if we receive any information which changes this trend.

Survey of East Shore and Poinsettia
Kevin Garriott, Central Permitting Supervisor
March 2, 1995
We have only three structures in that area which from the street,
we have cause to request further inspections. They are:
1. 480 East Shore Drive, known as Bay Villas Apartment.
This consist of four duplexes. The owner started
cleaning the buildings and the site. They have also
started painting the buildings. An inspector will
request an inspection of the interior of the buildings
within the next two weeks. This is a possible housing
code case.
2. 485 Poinsettia Street. This consist of two duplexes.
They appear from the exterior to have some minor housing
code violations. An inspector will request an inspection
of the interior of the buildings within the next two
weeks.
3. 473 Poinsettia Street. This is a single family dwelling
in need of repairs to the exterior. An inspector will
request an inspection of the interior of the buildings
within the next two weeks.
