Community Benefit Districts

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 Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square, Tenderloin/North, Castro/Upper Market, Fillmore, Noe Valley, Central Market, Tourism Improvement District, Yerba Buena and Mission Miracle Mile.
