Tax Increment Finance Application

Tax increment financing (TIF) is a tool used by cities to finance certain types of real estate development costs. The primary purpose of TIF is to attract private investment that will: 1) redevelop blighted areas, 2) provide housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families or 3) result in increased employment opportunities and tax base.

Developers may request TIF assistance from the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). A $7,500 fee is due at the time of application. This fee will be used to establish an initial Preliminary Planning Fund budget to analyze the request.

To discuss your project and potential TIF application contact the Fridley HRA or download a fillable application for TIF assistance.
