§ 17441 Expanding School Facility Benefit Area

Key Takeaways

  • •The school board can add more land to the area that benefits from a school facilities plan, but only if the landowners agree.
  • •Landowners must agree to pay a fee equal to what others in the area have already paid for the school facilities.
  • •The school board must pass a resolution and record it officially to add the new land.

Example

A family owns a piece of land next to a neighborhood with a new school. The school board wants to include their land in the school’s benefit area.

The family must agree to pay the same fees as their neighbors who already help pay for the school. If they agree, the school board will officially add their land to the area.
