Local improvements and special taxes

Local improvements

There may be additional charges on your property tax bill for previously approved local improvements.

Local improvements include new or replacement construction projects intended to upgrade specific areas in communities throughout the city. Examples are street paving, driveway crossings, sidewalk replacement, lane paving, and curb and gutter replacement.

Note: Local improvement levies include the cost of financing but may be paid out in any year during the amortization period to avoid further interest charges.
