§ 32240 District Special Assessment Expenditures

Key Takeaways

  • •If a district needs money for big projects like building or fixing things, they can ask the people who live there to vote on it.
  • •The money for these projects would come from a special fee added to what people already pay every year.
  • •The special fee would be calculated the same way as the regular yearly fee.

Example

A neighborhood wants to build a new park but doesn't have enough money.

The leaders of the neighborhood can ask everyone who lives there to vote. If most people say yes, they can add a small extra fee to everyone's yearly bill to pay for the park.
