BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 1981, State law allowed the creation of industrial development authorities for the purpose of issuing tax-exempt industrial development bonds. Subsequently, the Board of Supervisors created CoIDA to issue such bonds for the furtherance of economic development and creation of new jobs within the County. CoIDA is a function within the Economic Development Agency.
The 2025-26 Recommended Budget summary below reflects the major programs included in the CoIDA Budget and the proposed budgetary changes.

There are no major changes anticipated in 2025-26. Revenue for this budget is primarily generated through fees paid by applicant companies financing projects with tax-exempt bonds. These funds are to pay for the administration of the County’s Industrial Development Bond program and for other program related costs.
