Resources for business and property owners

Santa Rosa Downtown District

Born out of the reunification of Courthouse Square, the Downtown District is a formal Community Benefit District recognized by the City of Santa Rosa. The District, which encompasses properties in the area surrounding Courthouse Square, works to support property and business owners, connect with the City and maintain the Downtown area. 

​

Downtown Action Organization 

The DAO is the nonprofit organization that oversees the Santa Rosa Downtown District. The board hosts open meetings monthly on the third Wednesday at 9am. The DAO partners with local businesses to promote, enhance and beautify Downtown Santa Rosa.
