§ 29690 Special Service District Taxes

Key Takeaways

  • •A special service district is not its own separate thing—it’s part of a bigger area.
  • •The district can charge taxes for things it’s allowed to do.
  • •The people in charge (the board) decide how much tax to collect and what to use it for.

Example

Your neighborhood needs better streetlights.

The board can say, 'We’ll add a small tax to everyone’s bill to pay for new lights.' They can’t use the money for something else, like building a park.
