KB Advisory Group (KB) has earned the distinction as a “go-to” firm for Tax Allocation Districts (TADs) in Georgia.

Since our founding in 2001, KB has written numerous Redevelopment Plans establishing more than 50 TADs throughout the state.

KB’s TAD EXPERIENCE and HISTORY

KB’s TAD Expertise: Including current projects, KB has helped create over 50 TAD Redevelopment Plans for cities and counties in the past two decades. KB often works directly with jurisdictions to get those plans approved by elected bodies. No other Georgia consulting firm has a greater depth of experience or a more successful record producing Redevelopment Plans, creating and implementing TADs.

KB’s TAD History: With over 20 years of experience, we have intimate knowledge of the workings of local and regional real estate markets. In addition to successfully creating and implementing TADs, we also consult with many key players in the industry. As a result, KB knows Georgia’s real estate development community well, and our clients will likely execute future TAD projects. KB brings this breadth of knowledge to help public and private sector clients evaluate and implement tax increment financing.

What is a Tax Allocation District or TAD?

Not familiar with Tax Allocation Districts? Georgia Main Street describes TADs as a “mechanism for revitalizing blighted or underutilized areas such as brownfields, declining commercial corridors, and industrial sites.” It is a process that involves designating a TAD and dedicating future taxes over and above the current tax base for a set period to cover the costs of a variety of development activities, including “infrastructure, buildings, or other improvements needed to spur new, higher density development.”
