§ 8961 Warrant Payment For Assessments

Key Takeaways

  • •Special papers (called warrants) can be used like money to pay for certain work or costs.
  • •You can use these papers to pay for up to 4 years after they are given out.
  • •These papers are only for paying the specific work or costs they were made for.

Example

Imagine the city gives out special papers to pay for fixing a park.

If you helped fix the park, you can use these special papers instead of cash to pay for your work. But you have to use them within 4 years, and only for park fixes, not for something else like a school project.
