CFD 17-5M French Valley South special tax

Levied by Riverside County Economic Development Agency (EDA); the Board of Supervisors is the ex officio legislative body of the District on new development in Riverside County (unincorporated). Authorized under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act - Gov. Code Sec. 53311 et seq. Collected other: annual, on the secured property tax roll at the same time as ad valorem property taxes (not a one-time charge at permit).

Not priced for this house. This charge is real, adopted and collected, and it is left out of Riverside County (unincorporated)'s figure for one reason: it is levied per DU/yr, and a typical home does not fix that quantity. That is not the same as a zero. The fee is owed; what is missing is the number to multiply by, and inventing one would price this house with more confidence and less truth. Every published rate is in the table below.
