Special Assessment Districts

Special Assessment Districts (SADs) are designated areas within a city where property owners pay additional taxes to fund specific public projects that benefit the district. These projects often include improvements like roads, sidewalks, parks, or sewer systems. The cost is typically spread among the properties that directly benefit, ensuring that those who gain the most from the improvements contribute to their funding. SADs help communities finance enhancements without burdening the entire city’s budget, making it a targeted approach to improving local infrastructure and services.
