BACKGROUND
State law (the Tax Increment Financing Act (TIF), Texas Tax Code Section 311.016, as amended) requires that the City Council, as the City’s governing body, submit an annual report on the status of each reinvestment zone it has created to the Chief Executive Officer of each taxing unit that levies taxes on real property in the zone, as well as to the State Comptroller.
On May 14, 2014, the City Council authorized the establishment of Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone Number Twenty (Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District) by Ordinance No. 29340, as amended. On June 17, 2015, the City Council authorized the Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan for the Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District by Ordinance 29771.
For tax year 2024, the total appraised value of all taxable real property in the Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District (as certified by the Dallas Central Appraisal District) was $434,040,002.00, representing an increase of $257,752,922.00 (146.2%) over the adjusted base value.
