SOUTH BEND (INDIANA) REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
STATEMENT DISCLOSING THE IMPACT OF AMENDING THE SOUTHSIDE
DEVELOPMENT AREA AND SOUTHSIDE ALLOCATION AREA
1
The City of South Bend (the “City”) Redevelopment Commission (the “Commission”) is required by Indiana Code
36-7-14, as amended (the “Act”), to provide a statement disclosing the impact of amending a tax allocation
provision on the overlapping taxing units. This impact statement discloses and explains the impact on the
overlapping taxing units caused by amending the development area and allocation area and capturing Tax
Increment (as hereinafter defined).
AMENDMENT OF THE AREA, ALLOCATION AREA, AND THE PLAN
The Commission adopted Declaratory Resolution No. 1914 on November 1, 2002 (as amended, the “Declaratory
Resolution”) establishing the Southside Development Area (the “Original Area”) and a coterminous allocation area
(“Original Allocation Area”) and approving an economic development plan for the Original Area (the “Original
Plan”).
On August 28, 2014, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 3227 amending the Declaratory Resolution to
expand the Original Area (as amended, the “Existing Area”) and the Original Allocation Area (as amended, the
“Existing Allocation Area”) and to amend the Original Plan (as amended, the “Existing Plan”). The Existing Area is
located within the southern portion of the City's corporate limits, specifically, South Bend - Centre Township and
South Bend - Portage Township.
On June 13, 2019, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 3480 further amending the Original Declaratory
Resolution (the “Amending Resolution”) to (1) transfer territory from the River West Development Area to the
Existing Area (the “Transferred Area”), (2) designate the Transferred Area as a part of the Existing Allocation Area
(collectively, the “Allocation Area”), (3) add certain territory to the Existing Area (the “Expansion Area” and with
the Existing Area and the Transferred Area, the “Area”), (4) designate the Expansion Area as an allocation area
(the “Expansion Allocation Area”), and (5) amend and restate the Existing Plan (the Existing Plan as amended
and restated, the “Amended and Restated Plan”). The Allocation Area and Expansion Allocation Area are referred
to collectively as the “Southside Allocation Area”.
On October 10, 2024, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 3608 to further amend the Declaratory Resolution
(the “2024 Amending Resolution”) to (1) add certain territory to the Area (the “Expansion Areas” and with the
Area, the “Amended Area”), (2) designate the Expansion Areas as an allocation area (the “Expansion Allocation
Area” and with the Southside Allocation Area, the “Amended Southside Allocation Area”), and (3) amend and
restate the Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”). The Expansion Areas are located within the South Bend –
Portage Township taxing district.
The Declaratory Resolution, as amended, allows for the capture of Tax Increment (defined herein) resulting from
the growth in all non-residential real property assessed value within the Southside Allocation Area in excess of the
base assessed value defined in the Act.
In the 2024 Amending Resolution, the Commission finds that the Expansion Areas need redevelopment to an
extent that cannot be corrected by regulatory processes or by the ordinary operations of private enterprise without
resort to the powers allowed under the Act, and that the public health and welfare will be benefitted by the
redevelopment of the Expansion Areas. The Commission also finds that the Amended and Restated Plan
conforms to other development and redevelopment plans of the City.
The 2024 Amending Resolution allows for the capture of real property taxes generated from incremental
assessed value in the Expansion Allocation Area. Tax Increment consists of all property tax proceeds from the
assessed valuation of non-single-family residential real property in the Expansion Allocation Area as of the
assessment date in excess of the base assessed valuation described in Section 39(b)(1) of the Act, multiplied by
the current property tax rate, excluding any rate established by a post-2009 referendum and, any post December
31, 2022 Fire Territory rate established (referred to throughout as “Tax Increment”). The base assessed value
means the net assessed value of all the property in an allocation area as finally determined for the assessment
date immediately preceding the effective date of a declaratory resolution establishing the allocation area pursuant
to Section 39 of the Act. The Expansion Allocation Area will have a base assessment date of January 1, 2024 and
the base assessment dates of the Southside Allocation Area is unchanged. The Expansion Allocation Area will
expire no later than 25 years after the date on which the first obligation is incurred to pay principal and interest on

bonds or lease rentals on leases payable from Tax Increment, or as otherwise required by law. The expiration
dates of the other components of the Amended Allocation Area will be unchanged.
PROJECT SUMMARY
In order to accomplish the Amended and Restated Plan, the Commission plans to undertake certain public
infrastructure projects listed in the Amended and Restated Plan that are in, serving or benefiting the Amended
Area (the “Projects”). The Commission intends to utilize the Tax Increment generated by Future Development
(defined herein), along with Tax Increment currently being generated within the Southside Allocation Area to fund
the Projects in order to facilitate future development within the Expansion Allocation Area that would not occur
without the use of Tax Increment to fund the Projects (the “Future Development). The Commission may issue
bonds or enter into leases payable from Tax Increment to fund the Projects.
ESTIMATED TAX INCREMENT
The Commission currently captures the Tax Increment in the Southside Allocation Area, which is located within
three taxing districts: South Bend – Portage Township, South Bend – Centre Township, and South Bend – Penn
Township. Per the St. Joseph County Auditor’s office, the total existing incremental assessed value in the
Southside Allocation Area is $100,027,891. The incremental assessed value for the South Bend – Portage
Township and South Bend – Centre Township are each multiplied by their respective certified 2024 tax rates, less
the combined South Bend Community School Corporation (the "School Corporation") referendum rates of
$0.3840. The incremental assessed value for the South Bend – Penn Township is multiplied by the respective
certified 2024 tax rate. After multiplying by the respective net tax rates and after the application of the Circuit
Breaker Tax Credit, the estimated annual real property net Tax Increment generated in the Allocation Area is
$3,494,120. The Expansion Allocation Area is located within the South Bend – Portage Township taxing district.
The Commission intends to capture the real property Tax Increment from Future Development in the Expansion
Allocation Area. For the purposes of this analysis, the estimated Tax Increment from the Future Development is
based on an illustrative incremental real property assessed value of $10,000,000 in the South Bend - Portage
Township taxing district. Holding all else constant, the increase in the assessed value of the overlapping taxing
units due to the Future Development results in an estimated tax rate decrease in the School Corporation's Debt
Referendum tax rate of $0.0001. The estimated incremental assessed value is multiplied by their respective tax
rates, net of the School Corporation's post-2009 referendum rates of $4.9708 for South Bend - Portage Township.
The estimated annual real property Tax Increment generated in South Bend - Portage Township is $361,480,
after the application of the Circuit Breaker Tax Credit and accounting for the impact of LIT PTRC. The actual
assessed value of the Future Development will be determined by the St. Joseph County Assessor upon
completion and the actual assessed value may be materially different from the values used in this analysis.
No adjustment for future statewide reassessments or trending was made in this analysis. Future tax rates and
assessed values may differ from the tax rates and assessed values used in this analysis, and the differences
could have a material impact on the actual Tax Increment but should not change the impact of the Expansion
Allocation Area on the overlapping taxing units. See the sections below for additional information about the recent
legislative changes as they relate to property tax changes.
The calculation of Tax Increment may not include a tax rate that is imposed as a result of a referendum passed
after 2009, nor may it include a tax rate associated with a fire territory if the fire territory is established after
December 31, 2022. Currently, a post-2009 referendum tax rate is in place in the South Bend - Portage Township
and the South Bend – Centre Township taxing districts. Assuming no change in law, any future referendum-
approved tax rates will not be included in the calculation of Tax Increment in the Expansion Allocation Area. The
incremental assessed value that will result from the Future Development or any additional development will be
included in the tax base of the applicable taxing unit for the purposes of calculating the property tax levy
associated with a referendum-approved tax rate.

DEVELOPMENT AREA AND SOUTHSIDE ALLOCATION AREA

ESTIMATED TAX INCREMENT (Cont’d)
Circuit Breaker Tax Credits (Property Tax Caps)
Article 10, Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana (the “Constitutional Provision”) provides that, for
property taxes first due and payable in 2012 and thereafter, the Indiana General Assembly shall, by law, limit a
taxpayer’s property tax liability to a specified percentage of the gross assessed value of the taxpayer’s real and
personal property. Indiana Code 6-1.1-20.6 (the “Statute”) authorizes such limits in the form of a tax credit for all
property taxes in an amount that exceeds the gross assessed value of real and personal property eligible for the
credit (the “Circuit Breaker Tax Credit”).
For property assessed as a homestead (as defined in Indiana Code 6-1.1-12-37), the Circuit Breaker Tax Credit is
equal to the amount by which the property taxes attributable to the homestead exceed 1% of the gross assessed
value of the homestead. Property taxes attributable to the gross assessed value of other residential property,
agricultural property, and long-term care facilities are limited to 2% of the gross assessed value, property taxes
attributable to other non-residential real property and personal property are limited to 3% of the gross assessed
value. The Statute provides additional property tax limits for property taxes paid by certain senior citizens. If
applicable, the Circuit Breaker Tax Credit will result in a reduction of property tax collections for each political
subdivision in which the Circuit Breaker Tax Credit is applied. Political subdivisions may not increase their
property tax levy or borrow money to make up for any property tax revenue shortfall due to the application of the
Circuit Breaker Tax Credit.
The Constitutional Provision excludes from the application of the Circuit Breaker Tax Credit property taxes first
due and payable in 2012, and thereafter, that are imposed after being approved by the voters in a referendum.
The Statute codifies this exception, providing that, with respect to property taxes first due and payable in 2012
and thereafter, property taxes imposed after being approved by the voters in a referendum will not be considered
for purposes of calculating the limits to property tax liability under the provisions of the Statute.
In this analysis, the Circuit Breaker Tax Credit is estimated to reduce the total Tax Increment for the Southside
Allocation Area, due to the fact that the estimated Tax Increment, based on certified pay 2024 tax rate for the
South Bend - Portage Township, South Bend – Centre Township, and South Bend – Penn Township taxing
districts, is above the maximum threshold of 3% for commercial properties. There can be no assurance that the
levies and tax rates of the South Bend - Portage Township, South Bend – Centre Township, and the South Bend -
Penn Township and the overlapping taxing units will not increase in some future year to the point of causing the
Circuit Breaker Tax Credit to be further applied to taxpayers’ tax bills.
ESTIMATED IMPACT OF AMENDING THE AREA, THE SOUTHSIDE ALLOCATION AREA, AND THE PLAN
The schedules entitled “Estimated Impact of Amending the Area and Southside Allocation Area on the
Overlapping Taxing Units” provide an estimate of the effects of amending the Area, Southside Allocation Area,
and the Plan on the tax rates and tax levies of the overlapping taxing units (holding all other factors constant).
Scenario I: Present Situation (Prior to Amending the Area, the Southside Allocation Area, and the Plan)
Scenario I represents the current situation prior to amending the Area, the Southside Allocation Area, and the
Plan. Scenario I presents the payable 2024 assessed values, property tax levies, and tax rates for the overlapping
taxing units. The incremental assessed value of the South Bend – Portage Township taxing district portion of the
Southside Allocation Area is $22,480,371 is multiplied by the certified 2024 tax rate for the South Bend – Portage
Township taxing district, less the combined South Bend Community School Corporation referendum rates of
$0.3840, for a net tax rate of $4.9708 (the “Net South Bend – Portage Township Tax Rate”) (per $100 of
assessed value), to generate an estimated annual real property Tax Increment of $686,340, after the application
of the Circuit Breaker Tax Credits. The incremental assessed value of the South Bend – Centre Township taxing
district portion of the Allocation Area is $77,268,418, multiplied by the certified 2024 tax rate for the South Bend –
Centre Township taxing district, less the combined South Bend Community School Corporation Referendum
Rates of $0.3840, for a net tax rate of $4.9387 (the “Net South Bend – Centre Township Tax Rate”) (per $100 of

assessed value), to generate an estimated annual real property Tax Increment of $2,797,740, after the application
of the Circuit Breaker Tax Credits. The incremental assessed value of the South Bend – Penn Township taxing
district portion of the Allocation Area is $279,102, multiplied by the certified 2024 tax rate for the South Bend –
Penn Township taxing district of $4.8493 (the “Total South Bend – Penn Township Tax Rate”) (per $100 of
assessed value), to generate an estimated annual real property Tax Increment of $10,040, after the application of
the Circuit Breaker Tax Credits.
Scenario II: Assumes the Area, Southside Allocation Area, and the Plan are Amended
Scenario II depicts the impact on the overlapping taxing units (holding all other factors constant) if the Area,
Southside Allocation Area, and Plan are amended, and assumes that the incremental assessed value from the
Future Development is captured, and the net assessed value of the Future Development is added to the
assessed value of the overlapping taxing units.
The Commission intends to capture an illustrative $10,000,000 of incremental assessed value from the Future
Development in the Expansion Allocation Area located within the South Bend – Portage Township taxing district.
Multiplied by the Net South Bend – Portage Township Tax Rate, net of the application of the Circuit Breaker Tax
Credit, and LIT PTRC, the incremental assessed value is estimated to generate $361,480 of annual net Tax
Increment in the South Bend – Portage Township taxing district.
Scenario II also depicts the impact on the School Corporation’s Referendum tax rates, which may not be included
in the Tax Increment calculation. It is estimated that the Future Development would reduce the School
Corporation’s Debt Referendum tax rate by $0.0001 and increases the School Corporation's Operating
Referendum levy by $33,340. This Scenario does not show any other impacts on the taxing units within the South
Bend - Portage Township taxing district as a result of the Expansion Allocation Area.
Scenario III: Assumes the Area, Southside Allocation Area, and the Plan are NOT Amended
Scenario III represents the impact on the overlapping taxing units if the Area, Southside Allocation Area, and the
Plan are not amended, assumes the Expansion Areas and Expansion Allocation Area are not established, and
therefore, assumes the Future Development does not occur as a result of the Projects not being funded.
Impact Summary
In the 2024 Amending Resolution, the Commission finds that the amendment of the Area and Southside
Allocation Area will result in new property taxes that would not have been generated without this new allocation
provision. The Commission cannot finance the Projects without the Tax Increment from the Future Development.
Therefore, the Commission has determined that the capture of increase in assessed value from the Future
Development will not have a negative impact on anticipated revenues or the tax rates of the taxing units that are
wholly or partially located in the Expansion Allocation Area. Without the Tax Increment, the Projects would not be
funded, and therefore, the Future Development would not occur, the property would remain undeveloped, and the
tax base would remain unchanged. During the period of the Tax Increment capture, the tax base of the
overlapping taxing units would materially remain the same (holding other factors constant). After the expiration of
the Expansion Allocation Area, the additional assessed value will increase the property tax base of all the
overlapping taxing units.
Please note that for purposes of estimating the impact of Tax Increment financing, certain factors were held
constant in this analysis. No other growth in real property assessed value was assumed to take place anywhere in
the City or within the Amended Southside Allocation Area. No increases in the budgets of the overlapping taxing
units were assumed for purposes of this analysis. Potential impacts from future statewide reassessments or
trending were not included in this analysis.

NON-PROPERTY TAX IMPACTS
Additional local income taxes could be generated from any new jobs associated with the Future Development and
possible redevelopment of the Expansion Areas, assuming the new employees will be new residents of St.
Joseph County or from incremental growth in wages and income of current and new employees. Increases in
employees and wages, would, in turn, increase local spending and commercial activity. Additional revenue
sources, which would potentially increase as a result of new business enterprises which locate in the Amended
Area include food and beverage revenues, motor vehicle highway funds, local road and street funds, and excise
taxes.
