Far East Dallas PID

PID Introduction

With the support of our City Council members, a portion of the Far East Dallas community will become the Far East Dallas Public Improvement District (FEDPID). By establishing FEDPID we will be significantly building upon the safety and beautification efforts that the Ferguson Road Initiative (FRI) began in 1998. FEDPID will provide a long-term funding source for the community-building efforts of FRI.

What is a PID?

A PID is a Public Improvement District created by the City of Dallas at the request of property owners in a specified area who petition the City to levy a supplemental assessment (not a tax) on real property that is paid with the property owners annual tax bill. PID assessments are reinvested back into the community to provide special supplemental services that are above and beyond existing City services. For example, the FEDPID service plan will allocate 41% of its annual revenue to extended neighborhood patrols (ENP), law enforcement and public safety initiatives, and crime prevention efforts. Additionally, revenue will also be used for beautification, enhanced landscaping, capital improvements, public amenities, and communication with property owners.
