The Business Improvement Districts Transfer agency records the transfer of revenues to Business Improvement Districts (BIDs).

Summary of Services

This agency was created in the FY 2010 approved budget. These transfers were previously budgeted in the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development. The Chief Financial Officer collects assessments from businesses in BID areas through property taxes and then refunds the proceeds to each BID. Decisions on the assessment rate, who is assessed, and how the proceeds are spent are made by the BID, not the District of Columbia.

There are currently nine BIDs in the District:

• Adams Morgan Partnership BID;
• Capitol Hill BID;
• Capitol Riverfront BID;
• Downtown DC BID;
• Georgetown BID;
• Golden Triangle BID;
• Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District;
• NoMa BID; and
• Anacostia BID.
