On June 17, 2015, City Council authorized the Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan for the Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District and authorized the City Manager to execute a participation agreement with Dallas County by Ordinance No. 29771.
For 2020, the total appraised value of all taxable real property in the Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District (as determined by the Dallas Central Appraisal District) was $276,816,270.00, representing an increase of $108,458,640.00 (64%) over the base year.
