A Business Improvement Area (BIA) is an association of commercial property owners and tenants within a defined area who work in partnership with the City of Ottawa to create thriving and attractive business areas. Working collectively as a BIA, local businesses have the resources (people and funding) to enhance the quality of life in their district, local neighbourhood and the City as a whole. A BIA is self-funded through a commercial property tax levy.
