The DCBID provides safety, maintenance, marketing, and business retention and recruitment programs for more than 480 property owners and residents, representing over 1,500 properties within a 65-block area in Downtown Los Angeles. The DCBID's mission is to revitalize Downtown by promoting the area as a clean, safe, and vibrant place to live, work, visit, and invest.

In 1994, legislation was enacted in California enabling property owners in cities such as Los Angeles to create BIDs. Once formed, the law requires that a BID be reaffirmed through a petition process every five years. Support for the district is demonstrated by gathering signatures from the property owners representing a minimum of 51 percent of the paid assessments.
