Tax increment financing originated as a tool for governments to publicly finance needed improvements and enhance infrastructure within a defined area in order to stimulate private development and redevelopment. A TIRZ is a defined area where public infrastructure improvements are deemed necessary to promote development. The costs of the improvements to the area are repaid by the contribution of future tax revenues. Specifically, each taxing entity may choose to dedicate all, a portion, or none of the tax revenue that is attributable to the increase in property values. The additional tax revenue that is received from the affected properties is referred to as the tax increment. An ad valorem valuation base is established the first year, and the revenue from the increased valuation from subsequent years is allocated into a TIRZ fund to support development projects. On December 17, 2012, the City Council adopted an Ordinance 2012-366 designating and describing the boundaries of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Two for an industrial district of Denton, Texas; establishing the duration of the Zone; establishing a Tax Increment Fund; and establishing a Board of Directors for the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone. The City's second TIRZ consists of approximately 800 acres and is located north of Airport Road. This industrial area (Westpark) lacks the public infrastructure necessary to encourage development. The Westpark TIRZ took effect on January 1, 2013 and will terminate on December 31, 2036 or the date when all project costs are paid and any debt is retired, whichever comes first. It is estimated that the TIRZ would generate approximately $14.3 million over a 25 year period for infrastructure improvements. The City and Denton County will contribute $10 million and $4.2 million into the TIRZ fund, respectively. According to the Finance Plan, the City would retain $43.9 million and the County would retain $18.8 million of real and business personal property revenue over the life of the TIRZ.
