Assessment Districts- Local agencies are empowered to form assessment districts and sell bonds to fund public improvements. The projects to be financed, the legal authority, process for approval and sale of the bonds, limitations, and repayment methods vary based on the type of debt financing instrument used. Governing statutes include both California Government Code and Streets and Highways Code.     

County Service Area Zones of Benefit- California Government Code Section 25210 allows for the formation of county service areas in unincorporated areas, providing an alternative method of furnishing extended governmental services and the levy of taxes to pay for the extended services.
