What disaster districts can fund and spend

District money can repair or replace damaged buildings and low‑ and moderate‑income housing. It can reduce future risk, like hardening utilities and keeping water and energy available in emergencies. It can support recovery with affordable housing, prevent displacement, offer low‑interest construction loans, help small businesses with capital access, and fund job training. Cities and counties may dedicate local sales and use tax to the district by ordinance. Bond funds cannot pay for operations, programs, or services—only capital and listed recovery projects.

Faster disaster recovery districts

The law lets a city or county set up a special financing district quickly after a Governor‑declared emergency. The district must cover a disaster‑hit area where normal use has dropped a lot, with adjacent areas capped at 20% of the district. The city or county must adopt the resolution within two years of the Governor’s emergency proclamation. These districts can approve projects even if they do not match the city’s or county’s general or specific plan. For this law, a “disaster” means an event with a Governor‑declared state of emergency.

Public notice and board rules in disaster districts

To start a district, the city or county must pass a resolution that describes the boundaries, goals, planned projects, and possible use of property tax growth, and set a public meeting. The city or county and the district board must each hold a public meeting. They must post notices online at least 10 days before the meetings, and the proposed plan must be public for at least 30 days. The plan must include the information required by law, and the city or county must consult affected taxing entities. Amendments and annual reports follow existing rules, but mailed notices are not required. Required filings go to county auditors, assessors, and the State Board of Equalization by January 31 of the levy year. Before a district ends, a city or county may place part or all of it into a separate district. Public board members must live in, own property in, or represent a business in the district and serve at least four‑year terms.
