Assessment District No. 7
Street Maintenance Assessment District No. 7 (also known as Benefits Assessment District No. 7) is a mechanism by which property owners can vote to assess themselves to provide funding for ongoing street maintenance and repair costs for a 10-year period.
La Habra Heights has drainage channels and 42 miles of roads that require continuous repair and maintenance. The City has very limited sources of revenue which are not sufficient to completely cover these ongoing costs. Property owners have, in the past, recognized this deficiency and voted to form assessment districts to provide funding for street maintenance. The prior assessments have expired, so the City is seeking to form Street Maintenance Assessment District No. 7.
The estimated rate per benefit is $207.76. Here are some of the annual rates:
• Single Family Residence, Exclusive Access: $207.76 per parcel.
• Single Family Residence, Private Road Access: $181.79 per parcel.
• Hacienda Golf Course: $7,865.01 for entire golf course property.
• Puente Hills: $5,071.22 40.46 for total open space.
• Matrix Oil: $3,484.46 for total resource extraction sites.
