Each parcel is assigned a maximum special tax, which is typically based on development status, property use, and/or size of improvements.

However, the actual annual special tax cannot exceed the applicable maximum special tax.

The maximum special tax for Undeveloped Property in the district increases two percent (2%) each fiscal year, while the actual annual special tax may vary with the needs of the district provided that the amount does not exceed the maximum special tax..


How Long:
The Special Tax shall be levied for a term of thirty-three (33) fiscal years after the last series of bonds has been issued, as determined by the Board, provided that annual special taxes shall not be levied after fiscal year 2042-43.
