The purpose of this chapter is to enable the County to utilize tax increment financing to finance public improvements within a specific contiguous or noncontiguous geographic area, which is also an improvement district or a community facilities district, designated a tax increment district, by dedicating a portion of property tax revenue increases within the district to the funding of specific projects. This chapter also allows the creation of provisional tax increment districts, which can provide resources to enable the County to comprehensively address conditions in a targeted area through improvement districts, community facilities districts, or a combination of the two methods in conjunction with tax increment financing.
