Belmont PBID

The City of Fresno is working with local Belmont Avenue Property Owners to explore the feasibility and interest of a Property-Based Improvement District (PBID) in the area. 

What is a PBID?

A PBID is a special district that gives local property owners control over extra services tailored to their area. Typically, PBIDs aim to help create corridors that are clean, safe, and more appealing to community members. Assessments are calculated based on benefit to the services provided using factors such a building size, frontage, or lot size, rather than purely property value.

Typical services financed by PBIDs can include:

  • Public safety, security patrols, improved lighting
  • Beautification (landscaping, lighting, murals)
  • Marketing, business attraction, and events
  • Street cleaning, litter removal, power washing
