This graphic is the most accurate and unbiased representation of most uses of TIF. Contrary to the constant distortions by conflicted TIF proponents. The area marked as red ink is clearly the value lost by the diverting of all property tax revenue increases to urban renewal debt instead of the municipal services that would otherwise be getting the proceeds needed to help keep pace with rising costs. Any slight variation which may occur with some municipality is an insignificant exception. Suggesting some hypothetical possibility that the loss may be only a percentage of what is labeled as red ink is the kind of fog often commonly used to deliberately confuse the perception of TIF.

Essentially every municipality engaged in the use or promotion of TIF uses a TIF graphic that purposefully omits the long term losses to the pre-existing property tax beneficiaries and fails to note how the loss cripples the ability to meet rising costs. Graphman-Creator of the TIF Graph.
