maximum fee was $360 per improved parcel per year. New law provides that the maximum
fee is $420 per improved parcel per year.
Prior law provided that the fee expired on Dec. 31, 2010. New law provides that the fee
expires at the end of the term provided for in the proposition authorizing the fee. Existing
law authorizes renewal of the fee, subject to voter approval.
New law provides that the provisions of the Act have no effect on the parcel fee being
imposed within the district on the effective date of the Act.
