Special Assessment Districts (SAD)
Public water mains and sanitary sewers are typically
extended to serve established neighborhoods by means of the
special assessment process. The Engineering and Environmental
Services Department provides petitions with cost estimates for
future water and sewer extensions in the planning phase of
creating a Special Assessment District (SAD).
SAD Petition Process
The creation of a special assessment district requires a
petition with estimated project costs to be circulated by the
residents in the proposed district. The petition must
be signed by a majority of both land area and
homeowners. After a successful petition is
submitted, engineering plans and specifications are developed
for public bidding. The Township will hold Public Hearings for
those residents in the proposed district before proceeding
with the construction project and establishing the special
assessment. The financing of the project is contingent upon
the available funding at the time the petition is submitted to
the Township.
If the final special assessment cost after receiving public
bids exceeds more than 10% of the cost presented on the
petition, then the project will be placed on hold for 30 days.
A new petition then would be circulated for approval of the
new cost. The actual assessment cost will be due at the
start of construction and may be financed for ten years at 6%
interest on the unpaid balance.
