Downtown Parking Assessment Area - 2027
Funding for parking maintenance comes from taxes generated from the Parking and Business Improvement Area No. 1 Benefit Zone No. 1 (PBIA) and assessments paid by businesses in the Downtown Parking Assessment Area (see Exhibit B).
The assessments levied in an amount equal to 70% of the business license fee imposed on the business in the benefit zone.
There are no proposed changes to the boundaries of the DPAA or in any benefit zones within the area.
It is the obligation of the fund manager to present the planned activities for the Downtown Parking Assessment Area (DPAA) funds over the next fiscal year to the Advisory Board, which is the Downtown Napa Association Board. The report was received by the Advisory Board on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.
Below you will find the fiscal year 2027 anticipated revenues generated by: the PBIA taxes, investment earning, and the PBIA and DPAA fund balance contribution. You will also find the fiscal year 2027 anticipated expenses. This includes upkeep and maintenance of the parking facilities that businesses in these areas benefit from.

The PBIA fund maintains 12 surface parking lots and 3 parking garages.
The budget for this year relative to last year shows a higher predicted contribution from PBIA tax revenue. There is no contribution from the parking security fund this year due to sufficient contribution from the fund balance. The predicted fiscal year-end balance shows $0.00. Assuming assessment revenue is lower than currently predicted, the projected $282,194.04 fund balance buffer should help sustain parking maintenance operations.
