Urban renewal is an important tool for economic development in Oregon. Through tax increment financing, urban renewal agencies can provide grants and other incentives to build infrastructure in support of community economic development activities. In 2017 the Association of Oregon Redevelopment Agencies (AORA) merged with OEDA to better serve members and our overlapping missions.
OEDA now has the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Program to promote urban renewal best practices, provide professional development, and engage in advocacy for the ongoing viability of this important tool.
TIF Program Members will enjoy several benefits:
- Access to the TIF Best Practices Manual with bonus Sample Materials and Case Studies
- Access to the Oregon TIF Member Network, an online communication platform via a private LinkedIn Community Group for TIF questions, challenges, resources, and advice sharing
- Access to the Oregon TIF Member Community for peer-to-peer and leadership connections
- Exclusive access to new statewide UR case studies related to housing, plan amendments, and more

A complete list of Oregon urban renewal districts and detailed statistical tables for those districts are available in the Oregon Department of Revenue’s annually published Oregon Property Tax Statistics reports. These publications contain property taxes imposed by the type of district and the division of tax and special levy amounts calculated for each urban renewal agency and urban renewal plan.
