The Village of Williamsville reserves the right to prioritize projects and distribute TIF funds at their discretion. Incentives are limited by the amount of TIF funds available.

Business Incentives & Tax Increment Financing (TIF)

TIF funds may be used for costs associated with the development or redevelopment of property within the TIF District, allowing blighted, declining and underperforming areas to again become viable.  Designated properties must reside within the TIF District.  Click here for the established Williamsville TIF District.  

TIF incentives are considered on a case-by-case basis. The Village Board is open to individual requests for assistance. The Economic Development Committee will represent the Village of Williamsville for the review of projects and make recommendations to the Village Board. Once approved by the Village Board, the Village Office administers funds.

The use of TIF funds are restricted by State of Illinois Statute. The eligible uses for TIF funds are provided in the Illinois’ Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 through 11-74.4-11.  To learn more about how TIF funds can be used, visit the Illinois Tax Increment Association website at www.illinois-tif.com.
