TIEF application steps updated
The TIEF application guide now adds an online or email submission path, a three-week eligibility review target, and new legal-agreement steps after approval.
The Guidelines for Tax Increment Equivalent Fund (TIEF) Applications now say applicants can submit online or by email, and that supporting documents such as the cover letter and Property Owner Consent Form can be uploaded with the online application. The guide also says staff aim to confirm TIEF eligibility within three weeks after a completed application is received, and that successful applicants will be notified in writing before the legal agreement is finalized and registered. The updated guide also notes that the agreement may identify required construction timelines and confirms the Municipal Services Coordinator contact details for application questions.
