Noe Valley Association
A Community Benefit District
Assessment Data
The NVA CBD assessment methodology was updated with the CBD renewal as of January 1, 2021. Please see the Reports and Documents page for complete details as described in the current NVA Management Plan and Engineer's Report.
Calculation of Assessments
The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the special benefits provided by the services across the entire Noe Valley CBD. The proposed services are narrowly defined to confer a particular and distinct benefit to the parcels within the Noe Valley CBD. To pay for these special benefits, these parcels will be assessed at a rate that covers each parcel’s proportionate share of the special benefits received. Only special benefits are assessable and these benefits must be separated from any general benefits. The Engineer’s Report has calculated that 3.24% of the benefits provided by the Noe Valley CBD are general in nature, and cannot be paid for with assessments. Assessments will cover the remaining 96.76% of the CBD budget. (See page 12 of the NVA CBD Engineer’s Report for discussion of general and special benefits.)

Assessment Methodology
The Noe Valley Association Community Benefit District is funded through an annual assessment paid by property owners and businesses in the district. The assessment methodology was updated effective January 1, 2021 when the CBD was renewed – as voted on by the CBD property owners and approved by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.State law and city policy dictate that the assessment formula take into account three factors in calculating the assessment for each lot: the square footage of the lot, the linear feet of frontage on the street, and the square footage of the developed building space. The assessed amount for each of these factors has changed to comply with changes in state law. Annual assessments are based on program costs allocated among the parcels based on assessable footage.
Because commercial parcels receive special benefits from all of the CBD activities, their annual assessment rates for the first year of the District renewal term are as follows:
Lot Square Foot Assessment Rate: $0.2025 Building Square Foot Assessment Rate: $0.1388
Front Footage Assessment Rate: $14.7723
By contrast, non-profits and residential parcels do not specially benefit from Promotion of District activities, so those types of entities pay a reduced rate that does not reflect the cost of these activities:
Non-Profit/Residential Lot Square Foot Assessment Rate: $0.1487
Non-Profit/Residential Building Square Foot Assessment Rate: $0.1177
Non-Profit/Residential Front Footage Assessment Rate: $10.4161
