The City of Dallas Public Improvement District (PID) program allows groups of property owners to request special property tax assessments for the provision of services above typical City of Dallas levels. Working with City staff, each PID may select its own budget and categories based on its goals and needs, subject to Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code.

This may consist of eligible supplemental activities such as marketing the area, providing additional security, landscaping and lighting, street cleaning, and cultural or recreational improvements. Each PID is operated by a designated management organization. There are currently fifteen (15) active PIDs in the City of Dallas.
