The OLHL PID area consists of approximately 47 properties, business and light industrial uses and is managed by the Oak Lawn-Hi Line Improvement District Corporation. The general nature of the service and improvements provided by the OLHL PID are to ensure public safety and security, litter and graffiti control, provide seasonal décor, maintenance and improvement of public space, regular landscaping efforts and beautification improvements such as seasonal flower installations.
The costs of the services and improvements by the Oak Lawn-Hi Line Public Improvement District (District) will be paid primarily by special assessment against properties in the District. Annual assessments are based on the total value of real property and real property improvements as determined by the Dallas Central Appraisal District.
