How we are funded

Revenues to operate and maintain the District are raised through a special benefit assessment on properties in Natomas that benefit from the flood protection provided by our efforts. The assessment appears on the annual Sacramento County property tax bill as a direct levy and is designated “RD 1000”. The amount of the assessment is determined by the property's use, size, and location in the Natomas Basin. A “typical” single-family residential lot pays approximately $25 per year for the services we provide.

Property Assessments

Assessments are used to fund the day-to-day maintenance of the levees, canals, pump stations, small capital projects, and the first response during a flood emergency for those who reside within the boundaries of RD1000. Property assessments are collected by the local property taxing authority, the Sacramento County Tax Collector, and the Sutter County Tax Collector.
