Charles Village Community Benefits District (CVCBD)

Board Information

The Charles Village Community Benefits District (CVCBD) is a special taxing district located in a 100 square block area of north Baltimore. It is home to four neighborhoods: Abell, Charles Village, Harwood, and Old Goucher (and parts of two others: Remington and Barclay) and three business associations: North Charles Business Association, Old Goucher Business Alliance and Waverly Main Street. The CVCBD provides supplemental sanitation and safety services, supports community events, recreational activities and the development of amenities such as green spaces, and promotes the district as a good place to live, work and play. Property owners pay a tax surcharge of 12.5 cents per $100 of assessed property value to help fund CVCBD services.
