"Business Improvement District", "Neighborhood Improvement District", "Special Services District", etc.
These Districts are legal mechanisms for property owners in a defined geographic area to jointly plan and put in place a sustainable funding source that can pay for a set of services to improve their area. Once established, the organization that manages the District can make special assessments against the properties within the District. Failure to pay the fees can result in the filing of a lien.
