Property owners in LMD Zones T-48, T-62 and T-44 currently pay an annual assessment that has remained unchanged for many years. Due to rising costs associated with maintenance and utilities, the current assessment rates are no longer sufficient to cover ongoing expenses. To support continuous maintenance and future improvements, an increase in assessment rates is being considered.

The Landscape Maintenance Districts in Santa Clarita fund the maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements in designated areas. Established by Los Angeles County and subsequently annexed by the City, these districts are funded by annual assessments collected from property owners. Due to increased maintenance costs, an adjustment to the current assessments is necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of these shared spaces.

For more information, please contact Andrew Adams, Special Districts Manager, at (661) 290-2210 or aadams@santaclarita.gov.
