Community Improvement District

CID in Kansas most commonly refers to Community Improvement District, a tool under Kansas law for economic development and funding local improvements.

The Kansas Community Improvement District Act is codified in Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A.) Chapter 12, Article 6a, specifically sections like:

• K.S.A. 12-6a26 — Purposes of the act (economic development and public purposes).
• K.S.A. 12-6a27 et seq. — Procedures for creating a CID, including petition requirements.
• K.S.A. 12-6a29 — Creation of districts for financing projects, often requiring petitions from owners representing at least 55% of the land area (and sometimes value) in the proposed district.

These districts allow property owners and businesses in a defined area to voluntarily impose additional taxes—typically a sales tax of up to 2% (often 1% or less) or special assessments—to fund public improvements, services, infrastructure, beautification, marketing, or other enhancements within the district (e.g., streetscaping, security, events, or debt repayment for projects).Key features of Kansas CIDs:

• Created via petition to the local governing body (city or county).
• Can be used in cities like Wichita, Park City, Coffeyville, or areas in Wyandotte County/Kansas City, KS.
• Revenues may support capital projects, operations, or debt service.
• The state retains a small administrative fee (e.g., 2%) from collected sales taxes.
• Districts have a limited term (often up to 20 years in similar frameworks, though specifics vary by petition).

For the full statutory text, check the official Kansas Revisor of Statutes website (ksrevisor.gov) under Chapter 12, particularly sections 12-6a26 through 12-6a38 or similar.If you're referring to something else by "CID" (e.g., Criminal Investigation Department, though Kansas primarily uses the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) for statewide criminal investigative matters under K.S.A. Chapter 75-712 and related statutes), feel free to clarify!
