Special Financing Districts:
Background
In 1978 Californians enacted Proposition 13, which limited the ability of local public agencies to increase property taxes based on a property’s assessed value. Since that time, assessment districts, which have been in existence since the early 1900’s, have been used on a widespread basis as an alternative method for financing public improvements when other sources of money are unavailable. Currently, about one in three properties in California is part of an assessment district.
A special assessment district formed by either the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, or the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 assess parcels for the maintenance of certain public improvements for which they receive benefit. Parcels within a special assessment district are assessed for the proportional special benefit received by the parcel over and above general benefits conferred to the public at large. A special benefit is a “particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.” A new or increased special assessment requires a protest ballot proceeding in which more than 50% of the property owners subject to the assessment do not protest the assessment. Special assessment district taxes are referred to as levies, and are collected via property tax assessments through the County of Riverside.
Please note that the districts mentioned below are operated and maintained by the City of Eastvale. Depending on the location of your property, the parcel may be located within a district operated and maintained by Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD). Please see the bottom of this page for more information regarding JCSD.
