What is a Special Assessment?
A special assessment is an improvement (such as streets, etc.) which directly benefits the property. It is shown as the separate amount on the property tax statement.

The amount is based on how much the property benefits from the improvement and the cost of doing the project. It is not based on the value of the property.

For more information on property taxes, visit the Property Tax Statement page.
