§ 33836 Special Assessment Confirmation

Key Takeaways

  • •If most property owners in a special area don't protest, the government can go ahead with plans to charge them for improvements like new sidewalks or streetlights.
  • •The government can change the plan a little if needed, but once they decide, it's final for that year.
  • •If you don’t like the charge, you have to protest early—after the decision, it’s too late to change it for that year.

Example

Your neighborhood is getting new streetlights, and the city wants everyone to pay a share. They send out a notice saying how much each house will pay.

If more than half of the neighbors don’t complain, the city can say, 'Okay, everyone has to pay.' Even if some people don’t like it, the charge is set for the year unless they change it later.

§ 33836 Special Assessment Confirmation

If written protests by more than one-half of the area of the property in the special assessment area are either not received or are received and are overruled the legislative body may, by resolution, confirm, modify, or correct the report and order the formation of the special assessment area, and levy the assessments shown on the report as confirmed, modified or corrected. The resolution shall be final as to all persons and the assessments thereby levied upon the respective subdivisions of land in the special assessment area until changed pursuant to Section 33838. However, for the purposes of Section 33838, the assessment levied pursuant to this section shall be the assessment for the first fiscal year. (Added by Stats. 1979, Ch. 29.)
