Does LIFT increase my property or sales tax rate?
No. There are no new taxes created by LIFT. It does not affect your property tax or sales tax rates. The City does receive additional funds from the State's portion of sales taxes, measured by increases in State sales taxes and State property taxes collected in the area designated for infrastructure investments and redevelopment (the "Revenue Development Area," or "RDA").
