What is a Special Improvement District (SID)?

Special Improvement Districts (SIDs), also known as Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in some regions, are designated areas where property owners collectively invest in the enhancement and maintenance of their business districts. These districts are funded through special assessments on properties within their boundaries, with funds allocated to services and projects that benefit the area. Read more about SIDs here.
