A Tax Allocation District (TAD) is a redevelopment tool that uses the increased property taxes generated by new development in a designated redevelopment area to finance costs related to development including, but not limited to, public infrastructure, demolition, utilities, and planning costs.
On November 10, 2020, the Mayor & Commission adopted redevelopment plans to establish six tax allocation districts within Athens-Clarke County. Following adoption by the Mayor & Commission, the Georgia Department of Revenue certified the tax allocation increment base for each of the six TADs.
