Authorizing municipalities to create assessment reimbursement areas for the construction or improvement of water or sewer facilities.

Summary

  • Authorizes a municipality (a county, city, town, or drainage district) to create an assessment reimbursement area (ARA) on its own initiative, finance all of the costs associated with construction or improvement of water or sewer facilities (facilities), and become the sole beneficiary of reimbursements .
  • Requires the municipality to notify affected property owners of its preliminary determination of the ARA's boundaries and assessments, and record its final determination with the county auditor.
  • Establishes that reimbursements to the municipality may not exceed a property's pro rata share of costs associated with construction of facilities required to meet utility service and fire suppression standards, and may not include costs for construction or improvements of any portion of a facility that only benefits the general public.
