Special Assessments

Special Assessments are assessed to property owners for public improvements which are made along their property.  Prior to issuance of assessments ALL affected property owners are notified and given a chance to contest or support the improvements.  Special Assessments may be paid in full or by installment plan (if offered).  If you select the installment plan, a predetermined dollar amount (plus interest) will be placed on your tax bill for the duration of the assessment.  Questions regarding special assessments may directed to the City Clerk at 674-7700.
