Competitive Edge
Stop losing deals to cities with better incentive packages
A qualified developer is evaluating your community alongside two or three competing markets, and the deal hinges on who can put together the strongest incentive package the fastest. Mississippi's new TIF Bond legislation gives you that edge:
- The bond obligation sits with the developer — not your city — repaid solely from the project's incremental property tax revenue
- Taxpayer agreements under SB 2846 contractually obligate developers to cover any shortfall in increment
- A meaningful financial incentive without overcommitting public resources or months of internal debate

Tax Base Growth
Turn new development into long-term tax base growth
TIF isn't just about closing one deal — it's a repeatable system for attracting investment and growing your community's tax base year over year. Under Mississippi's Redevelopment Act, the process runs from developer inquiry through project evaluation, redevelopment plan, public hearing and governing body approval, to a TIF Bond issuance the developer assigns to a capital provider like Hageman Capital.
- Capture the increase in ad valorem taxes (and, where applicable, sales tax) for up to 30 years
- The increment funds eligible costs — infrastructure, site preparation, public improvements
- Original assessed value continues flowing to all taxing jurisdictions as usual
- Your tax rolls grow with no municipal debt on the books
