Business Improvement Area (BIA) levies will continue with an assessment-based system that collects from commercial and industrial properties within the designated BIA. All charges are assessed to the property owner who is able to recoup the costs from the lessee. Any unpaid BIA charges ultimately remain the responsibility of the landlord/owner, and any such charges will be deemed to be taxes on the property, and subject to a lien, in the event of a tax sale.
