Environmental Remediation Tax Incremental Finance
Base Year Packet
The Environmental Remediation Tax Incremental Finance Law (ER TIF) was approved by the Wisconsin Legislature in 1997 as a financial tool political subdivisions could use to pay for specific environmental remediation expenses. It was modified by the Legislature in 1999 and targets brownfield remediation projects. For additional information on state programs to assist in the remediation and redevelopment of brownfields, see the Department of Commerce Blight Elimination & Brownfield Redevelopment Program (BEBR) or Department of Natural Resources Remediation and Redevelopment Program web sites.
The 2005 WI Act 418 published June 2, 2006, clarified the wording in the ER TIF law. At that time, the maximum life and some requirements were also updated to bring the ER TIF requirements more in line with other TIDs.
The Department of Revenue uses the information on the following forms to establish the district's base value and to verify that proper legal procedures were followed. They must be completed and submitted to the department on or before December 31st based on the year of creation.
