Board adopts series of assessment and engineering reports, levies assessments for fiscal year 2025–26
Summary
The Board of Supervisors adopted multiple annual engineering and assessment reports July 8, confirming rates and authorizing levies on the fiscal year 2025–26 tax roll for several County Service Areas and assessment districts.
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on July 8 held public hearings on several routine engineering and assessment reports and adopted the resolutions required to levy the annual assessments for multiple county service areas and assessment districts for fiscal year 2025–26.
Public hearings were held and final reports adopted for a number of county‑administered assessment areas, including the countywide street lighting County Service Area L‑100, mobile home park landscaping, Alamo Springs landscape County Service Area M‑30, Contra Costa Center transit‑village landscaping County Service Area M‑31, and a T‑1 public transit assessment in east county. The flood control district also opened and closed its statutory hearing on the municipal regional permit stormwater utility assessments for the county and 17 cities.
Nut graf: The votes were routine by custom for these annual engineering items, but they legally authorize rates and place assessment levies on the property tax rolls. Supervisors heard no speakers on the items and voted unanimously to adopt the staff recommendations and to place established assessments on the county tax roll for the coming fiscal year.

What these votes mean
The decisions confirm the tentative annual reports prepared by county staff and authorize staff to place the approved assessments on the property tax roll for fiscal year 2025–26. These annual adjustments fund routine landscape maintenance, street lighting, transit area landscaping, and stormwater compliance services and are part of the county’s regular engineering and special‑district budget cycle.
Ending note
The proceedings were routine and drew no public comment. The board also addressed a series of other agenda items after the hearings; staff will publish the adopted assessment rolls and rates and forward the levies to the auditor‑controller for tax‑roll collection as scheduled.
