Community Redevelopment Agency Fund The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Fund encompasses 4.4% of the City’s activities and services and accounts for funding derived from City of Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa County Tax Increment Funding (TIF) – proceeds from increases in the taxable assessed value of the CRA District. The original CRA area was formed in 1980, with that being the base year for the purpose of determining the growth in assessed taxable value. In 1999 the CRA area was expanded to include an additional area. The TIF is determined by the growth in the assessed value of taxable property located in the CRA district from the base year to the current tax year and is multiplied by the current tax rate for the City and County. Expenditures in the CRA area target eliminating blight in residential and commercial areas.
