Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Special Improvement District?
A Special Improvement District (SID) is an area in a town or city where local businesses and property owners agree to pay an extra tax to fund improvements and services for their specific area. This additional funding is used to enhance the district, making it more attractive, safe, and economically vibrant.
Where does the HDSID get its funding?
Special Improvement Districts (SIDs) get their funding from local businesses and property owners within a designated area. These businesses and property owners agree to pay extra fees or taxes, and the collected funds are used to improve and enhance the specific district where they operate. The money is then invested back into the community for various improvements, services, and initiatives that benefit the local area.
What does the HDSID do?
The HDSID focuses on improvement projects, marketing and promotion, community engagement, business support, and cleanliness and maintenance within its district. They work collaboratively to invest in and uplift the area, fostering economic growth and community cohesion.
Is the entirety of downtown Jersey City part of the HDSID?
No, the entirety of what is considered 'historic downtown Jersey City' is not all within the HDSID. Residential buildings are not assessed, only commercial spaces on the first floor within the defined boundaries.
How is my tax assessment calculated?
The fee is determined by the square footage of first-floor commercial spaces on properties within the HDSID boundaries.
