| Fiscal & Funding | Tax Increment Financing | TIF | The Industrial New Jobs Training Program (260E) may access TIF as part of an agreement between an Iowa community college and a qualified employer. For FY 2022, no community colleges received TIF property tax revenue. All TIF revenue is initially generated through the levy authority of the various levels of Iowa local government with property tax levy authority. TIF takes the property tax revenue generated from these local levies and deposits it to special accounts controlled by the local authorities that created the TIF. Community college levies contributed $11.4 million to TIF for FY 2022. | 2/2 Fiscal Topic Published | |
