Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Easements protected until district liens end

When a landowner agrees to add land to a community facilities district, neither the owner nor local agencies can end easements or cancel land‑use contracts on that land. This holds until the land is released from all district liens for sewers, nonagricultural water, or streets and roads that did not benefit uses allowed by the easement or contract. The rule has narrow exceptions: certain Williamson Act parcels with a tentative map or a tentative cancellation; land with a conservation easement signed before January 1, 2003; land added to a district before the restriction or before January 1, 2003; or when the restriction clearly waives this rule.

New rules for adding conserved land

The law limits adding land with agricultural, open‑space, or conservation restrictions to a community facilities district for sewers, nonagricultural water, or roads unless the owner agrees. “Restricted land” includes open‑space easements, Williamson Act contracts, farmland security zones, and conservation easements. In the regional shoreline of the County of San Mateo, owner consent is not needed if a parcel already has development entitlements or is already developed for homes, businesses, or industry. If added, the land can face district assessments and liens for those services.
