How Are Assessments Determined?
The law requires that assessments be based on benefit derived as determined by the Drain Commissioner. All properties within the drainage district are assessed based on size of the parcel and the land use. Distances from the drain or the location of the property within the drainage district may be factors. Drainage is considered as an independent system with the entire system benefiting from the maintenance of the common outlet.
