Downtown Improvement District
The Downtown Improvement District (DID), created in 1992 (renewed 2001, 2006 & 2013), funds supplemental services and amenities that have helped to create and sustain downtown Dallas as a dynamic, mixed-use neighborhood. The assessment paid by properties in the DID funds enhanced security, maintenance and activation of public spaces, placemaking projects, special events, marketing and related services. The DID is managed by Downtown Dallas, Inc., a non-profit organization focused on advocating for downtown's continued success.
The current PID term runs until December 31, 2020 with annual budget and assessment rate subject to a public hearing and City Council approval.

The costs of the services and improvements by the District will be paid primarily by special assessment against properties in the District. Annual assessments are based on the total value of real property and real property improvements as determined by the Dallas Central Appraisal District ("DCAD").
The District service area is shown on a map attached hereto. The assessment to be levied for properties in the District service area is $0.1290 per $100 of appraised value. Dependent upon future District property values and the changing needs of the District, the assessment rate stated above is not anticipated to change in the next five years. Actual assessment rates and levies will be set by the Dallas City Council subject to a maximum of $0.15 per $100 of value and according to procedures stipulated by Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code.
As provided by Chapter 372 of The Code, the City of Dallas is responsible for payments of assessments against exempt municipal property in the District. Properties not liable for assessment include City rights-of-way and properties not owned by the City of Dallas but have obtained an exemption from the City of Dallas real property taxes pursuant to the Texas Property Code (except under the provisions of Sections 11.24 and 11.28 of the Property Tax Code). Payment of assessments by other exempt jurisdictions shall be established by contract.
