Tax Incremental Districts in Wisconsin

Wisconsin municipalities run 1,420 active tax incremental districts across 443 cities, villages and towns in 70 of the state's 72 counties. Each one is a fund the municipality controls and can spend inside the boundary, and many of them fund business projects directly.

The state publishes the list once a year but no map, and almost no municipality publishes its own. So most business owners never find out they are sitting inside one. Find your city or village below.

12 of them are past their end date with no extension on record, which means the money in those has to be spent before the district closes. Those are the ones where a municipality is most likely to say yes.

A different kind of money, open anywhere in Wisconsin

A tax incremental district pays for buildings and property. There is a separate state grant that pays for training the people who already work for you, and your address has nothing to do with it. Wisconsin Fast Forward runs from $5,000 to $400,000, is open to employers in any industry, and reimburses you for the trainer's fees. The wages you already pay your people while they train count as your half. Applications are due 3:00 p.m. Central on Monday, October 5, 2026.

What Fast Forward covers, and who qualifies. Read from the state's own program announcement, DET-19973-FF263-P, on August 28, 2026.
