About the BID

Financials and Reports

Funding for the Lincoln Square BID comes from annual assessments of all owners of real property within its boundaries. In 2018, we sought and received approval from the New York City Council to increase the assessment authorization to $3.2 million to be phased-in – our fourth increase since our formation in 1996. The City Council approved our assessment authorization to $3.2 million.  

For fiscal year 2025, the Board approved a budget with an assessment of $3 million. Property owners’ total billing rates for FY 2025 are approximately $0.26 per square foot for garage, $0.58 for commercial space, and $0.62 for retail. Any future assessment increases up to the approved cap of $3.2 million will require Board of Directors’ approval.

The annual assessment ensures that all beneficiaries of BID programs share in their cost. Non-profit organizations are not assessed, but many provide in-kind services and financial assistance. Owners of residential condo units pay $1 a year while residential tenants (renters and co-op owners) are not assessed.
