How are Parcels apportioned for the proposed Street Lighting Assessment?

Each parcel being assessed must receive a special benefit that equals or exceeds the amount of the special assessment actually imposed on the parcel. All developed parcels within the City benefit from street lighting services. Parcel apportionment is accomplished through the development of a base billing unit, called an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU).


One (1) EBU equals one (1) Single Family Residence, multifamily 10 units or 0.26 acres for General Service Parcels.
