New neighborhood infrastructure charges for homeowners
A city can create a neighborhood improvement district if all property owners inside ask for it. Once the local council approves a plan with a special charge, the city adds that charge to each parcel in the district. All money must pay for infrastructure tied to housing in the district. The plan must list the projects and what each parcel pays, or explain how payments are set. You may pay in installments if the city allows it. The charge can show on the current or next property tax bill, even when not overdue. The city must set the maximum years for installment payments. If one person owns all properties, the city can skip mailed notice. With fewer than five owners, the board has a designee from each owner. Ending the district does not cancel charges already imposed.
Home sales must disclose neighborhood charges
When you sell a home or vacant land, the condition report now asks if you know about any neighborhood improvement special charge. Sellers must answer so buyers see possible extra costs. Reports given before the effective date do not need to be redone. The new question applies to reports furnished on and after the law’s effective date.
