CURRENT INITIATIVES
Implement a lake level special assessment
Lake level special assessments are based on the benefits of the lake level to the properties in the special assessment district. The special assessment district was established on June 4, 2025. We will calculate the cost of the lake level project then assign a percent of that cost to each parcel within the special assessment district. The assessment methodology could include factors such as public use, front vs backlot, state-owned land, etc.
