Net New Construction - S​ummary

2026 Net New Construction reports implement legislation from 2023 Act 12. ​

TID growth from creations in 2025 and two exceptions from 2024, are now used as a factor in determining annual levy increases

  • TID new construction for levy limits –​ municipalities may use up to 90% of the new construction within a TID for determining the levy increase
  • TID termination for levy limits – beginning with TIDs created in 2025, allows a one-time levy adjustment equal to 10% of the newly-created value within the TID; the adjustment may be increased to 25% if the TID closes prior to 75% of its anticipated life
  • 2026 net new construction – amount of net new construction that occurred during calendar year 2025. Note: This may include prior year corrections.
  • 2025 Equalized Values
  • Net new construction as a percent of the 2025 Equalized Value. Note: This percent is a factor in levy limit calculations.

Includes:
