Sweetwater CRA — TIF Projection Tool

Distribution

City TIF participation 95%

County TIF participation 95%

The remaining share stays with the City & County general funds.

Growth

Near-term growth 4.5%

…applies through year 2030

Long-term growth 4.5%

Model a higher near-term appreciation, then a standard long-term rate after the cutover year. Under HJR 1, whichever rate applies is capped at 5% from 2027.

Millage adjustment

City millage 0%

County millage 0%

Test a ±10% change in each operating rate. 0% = the current adopted millage.

Property-tax reform (HJR 1)

Assume amendment passes

Raises homestead exemption ($150k 2027 / $250k 2028) and caps non-homestead growth at 5% from 2027. Sweetwater carries some homestead property, so the homestead exemption increase has a real but limited effect.

Year	Taxable value	Increment	City TIF	County TIF	Total TIF	Cumulative

City of Sweetwater operating millage 3.5634 · Miami-Dade countywide operating 4.5740. Base taxable value $1,089,411,431 (1,243 parcels / 2,566 folios incl. condo units, 2025 certified roll). City of Sweetwater 3.5634 + Miami-Dade countywide 4.5740 operating millage. The major Flagler Center / Lil Abner redevelopment can be modeled by adding it as a custom project. Increment = taxable value above the frozen base. TIF = increment × millage × participation. A planning tool, not a budget forecast.

Debt / bonding capacity

Sizes bondable capacity off a trailing 2-year average of Total TIF (from the projection above), net of expenses × pledge %, ÷ the coverage ratio. Enter tranches to test a phased issuance.

Year-by-year debt capacity

Year	Total TIF	2-yr avg basis	Expenses	Net pledgeable	Max annual DS	Committed DS	Coverage	TIF Balance	Max new bond

Coverage is OK when committed tranche debt service ≤ max annual DS that year (trailing 2-yr avg TIF, net of expenses × pledge %, ÷ DSCR). Tranches stack: each new issue's room is net of prior tranches' payments still outstanding. Max new bond = additional principal the remaining capacity supports at the bond term. Planning tool, not a commitment or offer.
