Robbins, Schwartz attorneys possess broad-based skill and experience advising boards and administrators in public finance, which includes obtaining financing from private and public sources, whether from loans, Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts, industrial bonds, limited partnerships and joint ventures or from lease purchase agreements, referenda, bonded indebtedness and state grants. We advise on regulatory compliance issues such as Truth in Taxation procedures, interfund transfers, use of Tort Funds, referendum requirements, and fiscal strategies in the "property tax cap era."

Robbins, Schwartz defends tax objections filed against school districts, and challenges tax assessments which school districts and other governmental bodies believe to be excessively low. In these matters, we frequently have substantially increased the revenues available to school districts for their educational programs.
