Court approves road‑assessment liens for Oaktree Ranch Estates totaling about $231,390
Summary
The court authorized recording road‑assessment liens to recover costs of upgrading subdivision roads to county standards; staff said the total project cost was $231,390 and that the liens work out to about $7,713 per lot for 30 lots, to be repaid over 10 years per the residents' election.
Commissioner Holt and county staff discussed a long‑running issue at Oaktree Ranch Estates where school buses were stopping on FM 920 and the county agreed to upgrade the subdivision roads to county standards. Staff reported the final cost for the project as $231,390 and said the lien calculation equates to $7,713 per lot for 30 lots; the court approved recording the liens to secure repayment over a 10‑year period.
Commissioners said the project was less extensive than initially feared because the existing road base only required chip seal and some widening rather than full reconstruction. Staff confirmed residents had voted in favor of the improvement in a local election and the court moved to record liens accordingly.
