Neighborhood Lighting District No. 96-07

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 allows a municipality or other local public agency to establish a special assessment district to raise funds for installing, maintaining and servicing public lighting, landscaping, and park facilities.  The revenue to pay for these improvements comes from special assessments on the land benefiting from the improvements.  The assessments are collected as a separately stated item on the County property tax bill.

The Neighborhood Lighting District No. 96-07 was formed on October 22, 1996 for the Swanston Estates neighborhood by City Council action.  Two other neighborhoods, Youngs Heights and Colonial Heights, were annexed to the district on December 17, 1996 and August 31, 1999 respectively.

The Neighborhood Lighting District provides an affordable means for neighborhoods to receive street lighting.  Streetlights are placed on pre-existing wood utility poles, and are fed from overhead power lines.  The district provides for the annual energy and maintenance costs, as well as administration and billing costs.
