Latest action: Passed

What it does

Your property tax bill rises if you own on George Street Property owners between Cherokee and Cesar Chavez avenues will be charged for the cost of milling and overlaying the street surface as a special assessment added to their tax bill.

The bigger picture

Pavement repair gets paid by people who live there The city funds street resurfacing through special assessments on nearby properties rather than from the general city budget, shifting the cost to the neighborhood being improved.

What to watch

Only owners on that specific block pay for the work Property owners outside the assessment zone do not share the cost, even though they may benefit from the improved street or use it regularly for travel.
