Our experts at Hageman Capital help municipalities unlock development in markets where projects might otherwise stall. By connecting communities with the right TIF Bond structure, we enable developers to access upfront capital — turning approvals into action and keeping investment flowing into your tax base.

Hageman Capital specializes in single-site, developer-backed TIF Bonds — a newer structure now being enabled by legislation across multiple states. Unlike traditional municipal-backed bonds, these obligations are not supported by your municipality’s credit. Instead, they are backed by the incremental tax revenue generated by that specific development, and by the developer themselves. This structure removes capital risk from your municipality while still delivering the community investment you’re working to attract.

Because developer-backed TIF Bonds are underwritten against the real estate project itself — not just the projected tax increment — the quality of that underwriting matters. Hageman Capital brings real estate investment expertise and legal structuring experience to every TIF Bond we’re involved in. That expertise benefits your community: better-structured bonds mean better-vetted developers and more financially sound projects coming to your city.

TIF Bond approvals carry your name. Hageman Capital works alongside municipalities as a free expert resource — helping elected officials, economic development directors, and municipal financial advisors understand exactly what they’re approving, why it works, and how it protects the public interest. We bring certainty to a complex process so you can move forward with confidence.
