The TIF Commission is established by the Board of Aldermen and consists of representatives from all taxing districts within the redevelopment area, including: six citizens of the City of Peculiar (appointed by the Board of Aldermen), two representatives appointed by the Raymore-Peculiar School Board, two representatives appointed by the Cass County Commission and one representative from the West Peculiar Fire Protection District.
Tax increment financing (commonly referred to as "TIF") is a statutory procedure available to cities, villages, incorporated towns or counties to encourage the redevelopment of "blighted" or "conservation" areas. Detailed information on the City’s TIF Policy, Procedures and Application Process is available on the links provided on this page.
