Survey To Raise Parcel Fees For Calaveras Service Areas

Sponsored by:

San Andreas, CA – Calaveras County wants to know what some property owners think about an increased parcel fee to pay for better maintained roads.

The Calaveras County Board of Supervisors has directed Public Works staff to ask those in County Service Area (CSA) to fill out a Road Maintenance Benefit Assessment Survey. These include the BXX, Diamond XX, Golden Hills, Rancho Calaveras, and Spring Hills areas. The current per parcel rates range from a low of $19 – $38 in Rancho Calaveras to a high of $240 – $360 in Golden Springs.

Public Works has not calculated the possible fee hikes. The goal of the survey is to “determine if CSA property owners would be interested in having the current parcel assessment fee raised to fund additional road improvements and a higher level of ongoing maintenance in their service area,” according to county officials. The Board will then use the results to decide whether or not to move forward.
