City/Village Tax Incremental Finance
Base Year Packet
All the forms needed to complete a TID creation application packet submitted to the Department of Revenue are available on this page. In addition to the forms that list the valuation information for the property within the TID, there are several helpful documents that explain TIF and important parts of the system. It is essential that you complete the application packet accurately; mistakes could mean that your TID does not get certified.
The "Guide to Wisconsin's Tax Increment Law" has detailed information on one of the most important steps in the process – class 2 notices. When creating a TID, all cities, villages and towns are required to publish a class 2 notice in accordance with ch. 985 of the Wisconsin statutes. These requirements are detailed on the second page of the "Guide" available below.
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. When completing these forms please use consistent identification numbers on the forms and on the maps that are required. They must be completed and submitted to the department on or before December 31 of the creation year. The process of certifying base values does not begin until after January 1 of the year following creation.
