Funding the Future of Tulsa

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a funding tool used to encourage and leverage private and public investment in specific areas of Tulsa. TIF is used to build and repair public infrastructure, encourage placemaking, and assist in the development of unproductive properties. Funds are generated over a period of up to 25 year by growth in the Assessed Value (AV) of properties and the sales tax generated by business activities within a designated district. PartnerTulsa currently manages TIF Districts in Downtown Tulsa, the intersection of 11th and Lewis, the Peoria Mohawk Business Park and 36th St. North and MLK Boulevard, with more in the works as shown in our Quick Links.

Each year PartnerTulsa compiles data on the performance of TIF districts across the city and makes that data available publicly.  If you are seeking data for a different year or need additional TIF performance information, please contact Mike Dickerson.

Project Anthem Tax Increment District
Project Anthem is a planned data center development in Tulsa that would use a Tax Incentive District. The TID will provide property tax exemptions to the new owner of the data center, and provide approximately $62.5M in payments into an infrastructure fund to pay for public improvements, including roads, water, and sewer serving the area. Details of the project TID are outlined in the Project Anthem Project Plan as well as in the Local Development Act Tax Exemption Agreement. 
Woodland Hills TIF

The Woodland Hill Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District was created to fund the redevelopment of the western part of Woodland Hills Mall, where the Scheels store is located as well as public improvements in the surrounding commercial corridor.  The 240,000sf Scheel’s store, employing over 450 people, opened in Fall 2024.

Downtown Area TIF

PartnerTulsa currently manages several TIF districts within the Downtown area that were created to assist in the development of unproductive properties and the construction of public improvements. Several Downtown TIF Districts were active in 2018, while others remain inactive until the revenues from private development can be fully leveraged. If you are interested in how the Downtown TIF Project Plan can assist you and your Downtown Development, please contact Mike Dickerson at PartnerTulsa.
