What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill allows the Town of Cable in Bayfield County to create a tax incremental district (TID) in the same manner as a city or village. Current law provides that a town may create a TID in the same manner as a city or village if the equalized value of all taxable property in the town is at least $500 million and the town's population is at least 3,500. Current law, however, allows the Town of Brookfield in Waukesha County, the Town of Somers in Kenosha County, and the Town of Freedom in Outagamie County to create a TID in the same manner as a city or village without having to satisfy the value and population requirements.
