***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
AN ACT to amend 66.1105 (7) (ak) 2. and 66.1105 (7) (am) 4. a.; and to create
66.1105 (6) (a) 21., 66.1105 (6) (g) 4. and 66.1105 (7) (ak) 6. of the statutes;
relating to: the maximum life and allocation period for Tax Incremental
District Number 4 in the city of Antigo.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill increases the maximum life and tax allocation period for Tax
Incremental District (TID) Number 4 in the city of Antigo.
Under current law, cities and villages may use tax incremental financing (TIF)
to encourage development in the city or village. In general, under TIF, a city or
village pays for improvements in a TID then collects tax moneys attributable to other
taxing jurisdictions for a period of time on the increased property value in the TID
to pay for the improvements. Ideally, after a period of time, the city or village has
been repaid for its initial investment and the property tax base in the TID has
permanently increased in value.
In general and in brief, a city or village makes use of TIF using the following
procedure:
1. The city or village designates an area as a TID and creates a project plan
laying out the expenditures that the city or village will make within the TID.
2. The Department of Revenue establishes the “base value” of the TID. This
value is the equalized value of all taxable property within the TID at the time of its
creation.

3. Each year thereafter, the “value increment” of the property within the TID
is determined by subtracting the base value from the current value of property
within the TID. The portion of taxes collected on any positive value increment is
collected by the city or village for use solely for the project costs of the TID. The taxes
collected by the city or village on positive value increments include taxes that would
have been collected by other taxing jurisdictions, such as counties or school districts,
were the TID not created.
4. Tax increments are collected until the city or village has recovered all of its
project costs or until the TID reaches its statutory termination date. The statutes
provide several different termination dates for different types of TIDs. In most cases,
TIDs must terminate 23 years or 27 years after the TID is created.
TID Number 4 in the city of Antigo was created as an industrial TID in
September of 1999. Under current law, the unextended termination date of TID
Number 4 in the city of Antigo is 23 years, because the TID is an industrial TID for
which no finding of blight was made and the TID was created after September 30,
1995, and before October 1, 2004.
Under this bill, the life of TID Number 4 in the city of Antigo is extended, and
tax increments may continue to be allocated, for up to 29 years after the TID's
creation.
Also under current law, a city or village may extend the life of a TID for up to
one year for housing stock improvement if all of the following occur:
1. The city or village pays off all of the TID's project costs.
2. The city or village adopts a resolution stating that it intends to extend the
life of the TID, the number of months it intends to do so, and how it intends to improve
housing stock.
3. The city or village notifies DOR.
Under the bill, a housing stock improvement extension may not be exercised
with regard to TID Number 4 in the city of Antigo.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
