The University TIF District was created on December 13, 2017, and includes two non-contiguous sub-districts near university facilities in Dallas. The southern University Hills Sub-District is adjacent to the University of North Texas at Dallas, generally located north of Interstate Highway 20 (Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway), west of Lancaster Road, and south of the DART rail line. 

The district will provide for public open space improvements including connections to universities and potential future rail transit in the northern sub-district while providing for a significant share of its increment to be transferred to the southern sub-district to catalyze new development.
