Public Improvement Districts (PIDs)

Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) are designated areas established to provide specific types of public improvements or maintenance, funded through special assessments paid by property owners within the district.

PIDs enable communities to enhance services and improvements beyond the City’s standard levels such as beautification, landscaping, safety patrols, maintenance, and community engagement initiatives.

Authorized under Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code, PIDs allow property owners to collectively invest in their district’s quality of life. The funds, generated through proportional annual assessments, remain within the district to directly benefit those who pay them.
