What Does Special Improvement District ("SID") Mean In The Real Estate Industry?

Through the “Consolidated Local Improvement Law” (Chapter 271 of the Nevada Revised Statutes), Local Governments (i.e., Counties, Cities, Unincorporated Towns, General Improvement Districts) are allowed to form Special Districts (“SID”) with the power to levy special assessments within the boundary of the SID for the purpose of acquiring, improving and equipping special projects within the SID.

BENEFITS OF SID

A SID can issue long term tax-exempt bonds to fund public improvements, which are repaid through the levy of special assessments collected from property owners residing within the boundary of the SID. The use of tax-exempt bond financing to pay for public improvements results in lower borrowing costs than other traditional forms of financing used by the developer. These lower financing costs benefits ll parties involved in the real estate transaction, including the ultimate homeowner.
