The Community Benefit Districts (CBD) program strives to improve the overall quality of life in targeted commercial districts and mixed-use neighborhoods through a partnership between the City and local communities. Once an area has voted to establish a CBD, local property owners are levied a special assessment to fund improvements to their neighborhood. The funds are administered by a non-profit organization established by the neighborhood.
Current San Francisco CBDs include:
- Castro/Upper Market
- Central Market
- Civic Center
- Fisherman’s Wharf
- Mission Miracle Mile
- Noe Valley
- North of Market/Tenderloin
- Ocean Avenue
- Union Square
- Yerba Buena
- Tourism Improvement District
