ASSESSMENT
Calculating Your Proposed Assessment
In June 2010, property owners approved an assessment for levee repairs. Per state law, all properties that benefit from the project must be assessed. In this case, properties within SBFCA’s boundaries will benefit from the avoidance of flood damages to structures, their contents and to land as a result of levee improvements.

The anticipated life of the assessment is 33 years. Each property owner’s assessment will not change each year, unless the characteristics of the property change (a vacant parcel is developed, for example).
Individual property assessments vary based on:
- Relative risk of flooding (based on location)
- Depth of flooding
- Square footage of structure
- Size of parcel
- Land use classification (per County Assessor)
Read the Engineer’s Report for detailed information on assessment rates and methodology.
