Answer
Is my business in a TIF district?
Enter your address into the Chicago Incentive Explorer to see whether it falls inside one of Chicago's TIF districts. TIF can support eligible building improvements and development; smaller storefront work often routes through the SBIF program.
What to know
- Chicago has well over 100 active TIF districts citywide.
- TIF Redevelopment Agreements are negotiated per project; smaller facade/interior work typically uses SBIF.
- Confirm the exact boundary and program fit with the Department of Planning and Development.
