South Congress Public Improvement District

History

The South Congress Preservation and Improvement District (SoCo PID) was created in 2014 and reauthorized by City Council in 2019 and 2024. 

Assessment Rate and Property Roll

The costs are based on a proposed assessment rate of a maximum of $00.20 per $100.00 on the value of the real property improvements as determined by the Travis County Appraisal District.  Property used as hospitals, schools, religious organizations, charitable nonprofits, public facilities, or homesteads will continue to be exempt from assessment.  The City of Austin contributed approximately $3,000.00 annually as a payment in lieu of assessment for city-owned properties; therefore, the apportionment of costs falls primarily to property owners’ assessments.  The PID will not incur bond indebtedness.  

The current South Congress PID ordinance and property assessment roll for 2026 is ORDINANCE NO. 20250724-128. Learn more
