THE ALAMEDA COMMUNITY BENEFIT IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (TACBID)
In June 2025, property owners voted to form the first Community Benefit Improvement District in San José in more than 15 years.
A Community Benefit Improvement District, or CBID, allows property owners within a defined area to fund services that supplement those provided by the City. TACBID is funded by assessments paid by commercial property owners and will provide clean, safe, beautification, and district support services within its boundaries for 15 years.
In June 2026, the Alameda Business Association finalized an agreement with the City of San José to manage TACBID and began the process of hiring service providers.
THE ALAMEDA CBID AND BID: 2 DISTINCT PROGRAMS
THE ALAMEDA BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (TABID)
In February 2026, the City Council approved The Alameda Business Improvement District for businesses throughout The Alameda Business Association boundaries.
A Business Improvement District, or BID, allows businesses within a defined area to pool resources for services and programs that benefit the district. TABID is funded by annual assessments paid by eligible businesses. Home-based businesses are exempt.
TABID funding may support:
District marketing and promotion
Community events and activations
Beautification and seasonal decorations
Business mixers, workshops, and shared resources
TABID will be managed by the Alameda Business Association Board of Directors.
TACBID and TABID are separate districts with different boundaries, funding sources, and priorities. TACBID is funded by property owners and focuses primarily on clean, safe, and beautification services. TABID is funded by businesses and focuses on marketing, events, beautification, and business support.
The boundaries and approximate annual budgets for both districts are shown in the graphic.
