Root Creek Water District CFD 2016-1 special tax

Levied by Root Creek Water District on new development in Madera County (unincorporated). Authorized under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act - Gov. Code Sec. 53311 et seq. Collected other: annual special tax levied on the County of Madera equalized secured property tax roll — NOT a one-time charge at permit.

This is an annual charge, not a one-time fee. It is levied per DU/yr, every year, for as long as the district lasts, and it goes up over time. A recurring tax is never added into a one-time total - a figure that mixes the two means nothing. This site counts the one-time charges a builder pays to put up a house, so this is not part of Madera County (unincorporated)'s figure and is not listed beside it. Every published rate is in the table below.
