§ 33824 Special Assessment Resolution Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •The law says the city must clearly mark the area where extra fees (special assessments) will be charged.
  • •The city must tell how much money they need each year and for how long (no longer than the time to pay off the debt).
  • •The city must show exactly how much each property will be charged.
  • •The city must include a report explaining why these fees are needed.

Example

The city wants to fix up a neighborhood park and plans to charge nearby homes extra money to pay for it.

The city must draw a map showing which homes have to pay, say how much each home will pay every year, and explain how long they’ll have to pay. They also have to include a report explaining why the park needs fixing and how the money will be used.
