As of October 10, Yucca Valley property owners have been billed the second annual sewer assessment charge on their 2019/2020 property tax bills. In May 2015, Yucca Valley property owners voted to form an assessment district to finance the construction of Phase 1 of the sewer project.

Sewer assessments for Yucca Valley property owners have been billed in the 2019/2020 property taxes. The bills have been reduced by approximately $100 to $200. This is substantially less than what was originally projected, due to the town of Yucca Valley’s 0.5% sales tax measure, and Measure Z. The formation of the assessment district helped secure a low interest loan from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund in the amount of $145,229,718.

Property owners have been billed for the second annual sewer assessment charge on their 2019/2020 property tax bills. The amount charged includes a discount, which is a result from the Measure Z sales tax and additional properties buying into the new sewer system. In May 2015, property owners formed Assessment District 2014-1 to finance their shared cost to construct Phase 1 of the Sewer Project. Forming the assessment district secured a low-interest loan from the State’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund in the amount of $145,229,718. Each property within Phase 1, 2 and 3 of the Sewer Project, was assessed a shared cost of constructing Phase 1 based on land-use classification. In the table, property owners will see the difference between the estimated payment amount versus the final charge for 2019/2020. Property owners will find that the estimated payment amount reflects a discount due to the Town of Yucca Valley’s 0.5% sales tax measure, Measure Z. This year an even $1.6 million of sales tax dollars was collected and applied to the final charge.
