▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation amends the laws affecting Urban Renewal Districts (URD) in three ways. First, it provides a process for a city to dissolve a URD and an urban renewal revenue allocation area. Secondly, it allows a fire districtoranambulanceservicedistrictwithinaURDtooptoutofanexistingurbanrenewalrevenueallocation area, provided that there is no existing indebtedness or other financial obligation.

▶ Show fiscal note

This legislation will have no impact on state revenue or budgets. Additionally, there will be no impact to local taxpayers. URD’s do not decrease or increase property taxes, they simply divert where the money goes. Consequently, should a fire district or ambulance service district within a URD decide to opt out or not be included in a new URD, the property taxes collected will be given to the fire district or ambulance service district instead of the URD.
