A
Municipal Service Benefit Unit or MSBU is a mechanism for property
owners within unincorporated areas of the County to receive
services for which they currently do not have. Examples of these:
Water, Sewer, Re-use Lines and Paved Roads.
Q.
Who
pays for the construction?
A.
All
costs are paid by all the affected property owners within the
affected benefit area.
Q.
Will
my taxes go up?
A.
No,
this is not a tax, only the property owners within the benefit
area pay for the improvement through a special assessment.
Q.
How
much will this cost?
A.
Each project is created individually; therefore a specific cost
cannot be set, however every effort is made by staff to ensure
that the cost is the lowest possible through a bidding process.
Q.
How do I pay?
A.
Payment
of the MSBU special assessment charge can be made in two different
ways. The special assessment charge can be paid in full at the
beginning of the assessment or it may be paid in annual installments
over a 10-year period. Which will reflect on your yearly tax bill.
