Body
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 the State Comptroller. On October 26, 2005, the City Council authorized Ordinance No. 26148, as amended, establishing Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone Number Fourteen, (Skillman Corridor TIF District). On December 13, 2006, the City Council authorized the Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan for this District by Ordinance No. 26534, as amended.
The Skillman Corridor TIF District’s assessed 2024 taxable value was $1,610,231,086.00 (and varies for other participating taxing jurisdictions due to exemption levels). This represents an increase of $1,248,416,415.00 (345.0%) over the adjusted base year value and an increase of $117,139,574.00 (7.8%) over last year’s final value. The District anticipates collecting in 2025 approximately $10,946,467.00 in incremental tax revenue for tax year 2024, of which $7,477,952.00 is the City’s contribution. The anticipated Richardson Independent School District (RISD) portion totals $1,982,805.00, and 30.0% or $594,841.00 will be earmarked for the RISD Facility Improvements TIF District budget line item pursuant to RISD’s interlocal agreement with the City. This represents a partial payment because RISD’s participation budget cap will be reached.
