infrastructure improvements

TIF Basics

Service payments in lieu of taxes

– Owners of property subject to TIF required to pay

“service payments in lieu of taxes”

– Paid in the same amount and collected in the same

manner as real property taxes

– TIF is therefore a way to focus otherwise dispersed

tax money on specific, local improvements

Page 8: Economic Development Fundamentals September 22, 2016...–Incentive district TIF applies to all parcels within a geographic district ( See O.R.C. 5709.40(C)) • No more than 300 contiguous

© 2016 Bricker & Eckler LLP

TIF Basics

Uses of service payments in lieu of taxes

– Service payments are collected into a segregated

fund which must be established

– May be used to pay for “public infrastructure

improvements” as defined in O.R.C. 5709.40(A)(7).

– Generally include: roads, sewers, environmental

remediation, land acquisition, demolition, storm water

remediation, gas, electric and communications

service facilities

– Up to 100% with consent

– Note that county consent is required for municipal

corporation and township incentive district TIFs if

exemption is over 75%

TIF (“non-school TIF”)

– Maximum compensation for county is amount that

would have been paid but for TIF (recall, only applies

to municipal corporation and township incentive

district TIFs)

Why Use TIF?

Encourage development

Facilitate redevelopment

Finance infrastructure

No additional cost to developer

– But revenue stream is development dependent

TIF Monetization

General obligations bonds or cash payment

by government– Government takes risk

Revenue bonds and conduit bonds– Generally requires additional security

Pay-as-you-go TIF– Developer takes risk

Developer financing– Developer takes risk / provides security

Combining TIF With Other Tools

CRA

– TIF could be subordinate to total abatement of CRA

for CRA period (O.R.C. 5709.911)

Special assessments

– Special assessments can back up TIF service

payments in event development does not occur at

desired pace

Special Assessment Basics

Apportionment

– Aggregate amount must be apportioned among all

parcels being assessed

– General methods:

• Proportion of “front footage” along improvement

• Proportion of tax valuation

• Proportion to “special benefits” resulting from the

improvements

Petitions

– Generally, levying special assessments takes a lot of

due process for property owners

– Petition submitted by the requisite number of property

owners can waive some of the procedures otherwise

required

– Petitions also can provide substantive benefits (e.g.,

ability to pay 100% of project costs under O.R.C.

727.06)

The Capital Stack

Uses of Funds Sources of Funds (the Capital Stack)

Filling the Gap Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the capital stack in the

Pinecrest pro-forma that is filling a hole between the amount of private debt

and equity that has been raised and the required capital needed to complete

the project as contemplated.

The TIF Bonds will provide a much needed more than $35 million of net

proceeds for the Project to fund a portion of the cost of public infrastructure

throughout the development (i.e. parking garages, sidewalks, lighting,

streetscape, etc.)

Total Project Cost

Establishing the TIF – Process & ResultsThe Process

A TIF is a common mechanism used to assist real estate

developments by monetizing future property tax revenues to

fund current development. Since the passage of a TIF means

governmental entities forgoing future property taxes in

support of the project, certain approvals need to occur before

the TIF is enacted.

The Result (Terms of the TIF)

Type of TIF: 5709.40 – for public infrastructure improvements

that directly benefit the TIF property

Term: 30 years from when improvements appear on the tax

roll

TIF Exemption Amount: 100% of property taxes that would

have otherwise been paid

Agreement with the School District:

– Compensation Payments equal to 25% of the property

taxes the School District would have received without

the TIF Exemption

– 100% of property taxes from an increase in tax rate

levied by the School District

– Upfront donation to the School District from the

Developer of $300,000

– 41.5% share of new income taxes received by the

Village in excess of $500,000

Projected Financial Benefits*:

Public Support

• Public support was needed to get residents on board with the Project and in support of the TIF

• Flyers were sent out and calls were made to residents to make them aware of the Project and what was needed to make it happen.

Village Negotiations

• The Developer had to negotiate the terms of the TIF and show the need for public assistance for completion of the Project.

• As a result, the Developer met with Village officials and Council members to garner further support.

School Board Approval

• Per Ohio law, any TIF in excess of 10 years or 75% TIF Exemption must be approved by the School District.

• Extensive negotiations took place between the School Board, the Village, and the Developer to arrive at a solution that compensated the School District for approving the TIF.

Council Meetings

• TIF legislation was prepared for reading and approval by Village Council.

• After many rounds of negotiations with all of the parties and numerous public hearings, the TIF was passed on May 6, 2015.

Estimated Valuation and Timing

Before structuring and selling any debt, we had to derive what the TIF

revenues would be over the life of the exemption. As such, we went straight

to the people who will be valuing the Project for tax purposes once it is built,

the County Appraisal Group.

Debt StructuringMaximizing Project Proceeds

Once we had the TIF Revenues Available for Debt

Service, we were able to structure the debt with the

goal of maximizing proceeds for the Project, all while

working within the structural confines of no additional

security for the Bonds (i.e. Tax Increment Revenues /

Minimum Service Payments only, resulting in a non-

rated, high yield bond transaction).

In structuring the debt, the following steps took place:

– Identify Costs of Issuance and any Annual Fees

– Determine necessary Capitalized Interest (until

TIF revenues are sufficient to cover debt

service)

– Identify a potential conduit issuer (City, County,

Port Authority, etc.)

– Identify and educate the potential investor(s) on

legal mechanics and protections of the TIF.
