The Austin Downtown PID stretches from I-35 west to roughly San Antonio Street and from MLK Boulevard south to and across Lady Bird Lake, including several properties in the South Central Waterfront.

First authorized in May 1993, in October 2012 the Austin City Council reauthorized the Austin Downtown Public Improvement District for ten years. Properties in the District are assessed an additional $.10 per $100 in assessed value, with exemptions.
