What is a PID in Texas?

What is a PID?

A Public Improvement District is an area created by a city (or county) under Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code. Property in the district pays a special assessment to repay the cost of streets, utilities, parks or other improvements.

Is a PID assessment a tax rate?

Usually not. Most PID assessments are a set annual installment per lot or per acre under the district's Service and Assessment Plan, not a rate per $100 of value. Check the plan for the exact method.

Where does the money show up?

Some cities, such as Little Elm, say on their PID page that installments are collected on the Denton County tax bill. Confirm for any specific PID.
