State Affordability Infrastructure Districts
One Team for SAID District Formation and Financing
Arizona developers, landowners, investors, and homebuilders will soon have a new option for financing public infrastructure through State Affordability Infrastructure Districts (SAIDs).
HB 2999 becomes law in mid-September 2026. It provides landowners with the certainty to establish SAIDs and finance eligible public infrastructure. Available tools include tax-exempt, non-recourse special assessment bonds, limited tax general obligation bonds, and revenue bonds.
For development teams considering this new Arizona infrastructure financing tool, The Arizona DASH Program provides a coordinated approach to SAID district formation, bond issuance, and ongoing district management.
One Call. One Team. One Coordinated SAID Process.
Forming and financing a special district requires coordination among multiple professionals. The Arizona DASH Program brings those professionals together from the beginning.
Through DASH, investors, landowners, developers, and homebuilders can work with a coordinated team that includes:
- Financial Advisor: Launch Development Finance Advisors
- Bond Attorney
- Underwriter: D.A. Davidson
- District Manager: Blackwood Advisors
Rather than assembling and coordinating these disciplines independently, DASH provides one team working toward the same goal: moving a project through SAID formation, bond issuance, and district management.
For developers evaluating the mechanics of the new district structure, Launch has also outlined how an Arizona State Affordability Infrastructure District works, including its formation process and landowner governance structure.
Experience With Arizona SAIDs and Private-Sector Special Districts
The Arizona DASH Program is administered by a team that assisted in drafting HB 2999 and has been actively involved in the establishment of private-sector special districts since 1991.
That experience is paired with a coordinated team structure. As a result, projects move through the SAID process efficiently, and developers have a clear path from formation through financing and ongoing district administration.
Launch has been following the development of Arizona’s new SAID framework closely. For additional background on the legislation and its implications for infrastructure financing, read Arizona – We Now Have the Tools to Finance Public Infrastructure or explore The Launch Report™ | Q2 2026.
