===Community Improvement Districts===
In February 2013, DeKalb County Board of Commissioners approved the formation of the Tucker [[Business Improvement District|Community Improvement District]] (CID). In August 2014 the Tucker CID changed its name to Tucker-Northlake CID to reflect expansion into the Northlake business district. Tucker is also home to the Stone Mountain CID along Mountain Industrial Boulevard.

Commercial property owners in both districts vote on a self-imposed millage rate increase and use the funds for community improvements. The tax and millage rate increase applies to commercial property only and not residential. Under Georgia law CID funds may be used for street and road construction and maintenance, parks and recreation area, public transportation, and other services. CID investments are often leveraged through state and local grants increasing return on investment.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://tuckernorthlakecid.com/ | title=Tucker Northlake CID | publisher=Tucker-Northlake Community Improvement District | access-date=April 30, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://tuckernorthlakecid.com/news-articles/tucker-cid-changes-its-name-to-tucker-northlake-cid-to-reflect-expansion-inclusion-and-cooperation/ | title=Tucker CID Changes its Name to Tucker-Northlake CID to Reflect Expansion, Inclusion and Cooperation | publisher=Tucker-Northlake Community Improvement District | date=August 7, 2014 | access-date=April 30, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.stonemountaincid.com/ | title=Stone Mountain CID | publisher=Stone Mountain Community Improvement District | access-date=April 30, 2016}}</ref>
