TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS
Evanston has six Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts. They are Downtown (District 1), Washington National (District 4), Howard and Ridge (District 5), Howard and Hartrey (District 3), Southwest (District 2), and West Evanston (District 6). TIF Districts are established in compliance with State of Illinois statutes. The mechanism is designed to assist financially desirable developments that but for the financial assistance would not be able to achieve. The City's TIF Districts have been very successful historically. Annual reports for each TIF District are available through the Planning Division of the Community Development Department.
