A municipality may request a base value redetermination for a Tax Incremental District (TID) in a decrement situation under state law
(sec. 66.1105(2)(aj), Wis. Stats.). For more information on base value redetermination, visit our
Base Value Redetermination Common Questions.
Qualifications
- TID's current year value is at least 10 percent below the base value of the TID for two consecutive years (decrement) (see
TID Statement of Changes Report)
The date of the municipality's redetermination resolution determines the two consecutive years (ex: if the resolution date is May 21, 2018, the 2016 and 2017 values must be 10 percent below the TID's current base value).
- TID must be created under state law
(sec. 66.1105, Wis. Stats.)
Note
- Only one base value redetermination is allowed during the TID's life
- Distressed or severely distressed TIDs can qualify for a base value redetermination
Examples of a 10 percent decrement situation
| Example 1: TID created with a base value = 49,621,600 |
|---|
| Year | Equalized Value | Calculation Change | Decline |
|---|
| 2016 | 44,595,000 | 44,595,000 - 49,621,600 = -5,026,200 / 49,621,600 = | 10.13% |
| 2017 | 44,595,000 | 44,595,000 - 49,621,600 = -5,026,200 / 49,621,600 = | 10.13% |
Value declined by 10 percent and was 10 percent lower for two consecutive years
TID qualifies for a redetermination — new base value will be $44,595,000 |
| Example 2: TID created with a base value = 8,113,400 |
|---|
| Year | Equalized Value | Calculation Change | Decline |
|---|
| 2016 | 6,513,800 | 6,513,800 - 8,113,400 = -1,599,600 / 8,113,400 = | 19.72% |
| 2017 | 6,852,600 | 6,852,600 - 8,113,400 = -1,260,800 / 8,113,400 = | 15.54% |
Value declined by 10 percent for two consecutive years and met the requirement, even though the TID value showed an increase from 2016 to 2017
TID qualifies for a redetermination — new base value will be $6,852,600 |
| Example 3: TID created with a base value = 56,813,200 |
|---|
| Year | Equalized Value | Calculation Change | Decline |
|---|
| 2016 | 53,843,100 | 53,843,100 - 56,813,200 = -2,970,100 / 56,813,200 = | 5.23% |
| 2017 | 49,582,600 | 49,582,600 - 56,813,200 = - 7,230,600 / 56,813,200 = | 12.73% |
TID does not currently qualify for a redetermination
2018 TID value would need to maintain the 10 percent decline to qualify for the two consecutive years requirement |
