What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows the Town of Three Lakes in Oneida 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, the Town of Freedom in Outagamie County, the Town of Cable in Bayfield County, and the Town of Gibraltar in Door County to create a TID in the same manner as a city or village without having to satisfy the value and population requirements.
