Your Money, Your City

The City Finances dashboards allow users to explore the influence of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) on new projects. A TIF district is an area of Chicago in which a portion of property taxes from the district are reserved for redevelopment projects within the district. Users can also explore purchase agreements between the City and vendors.

Use the City Finances dashboards to:

  • See where TIF districts are in the City
  • Determine which City vendor received the most from contracts
  • Analyze the fraction of City contracts for each City department

Visit the Chicago Department of Planning and Development overview of the TIF program.
