BACKGROUND
Lake Berryessa Resort Improvement District (LBRID) was established by the Resort Improvement Act in the 1960's. Revenues to support the District are generated as follows:
Ordinance T-1
In January, 1998, the residents of this District voted to replace a water/sewer availability charge of $240 per parcel per year with a special tax for water and sewer of $412 per year. The tax is applied to each parcel within the District having water/sewer infrastructure available to it. The special tax is collected by the County Treasurer along with the property tax on each parcel. Revenues generated by these charges are appropriated through the annual budget of the District and fund the maintenance and upgrade of existing water and sewer system facilities.
On August 30, 2005, the residents of the District approved Measure 'B' that increased the special tax to $570 per year and modified the annual adjustment to be a fixed rate of 4%. The Ordinance allows for a fixed annual adjustment of 4%. The special tax was $1,191 in Fiscal Year 2024-25. Adjusting for the fixed rate increase, the new tax rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26 will be $1,238.
