NOTE: The unit you are purchasing is located within boundaries of community facilities districts and special assessment districts. The special taxes and assessments shown above are in addition to the base property taxes on the property.

The open space maintenance district is administered by the city of Chula Vista and the assessment has not been determined at this time. It is currently estimated, however, that the assessment, which is subject to annual adjustment as determined by the city of Chula Vista, will not exceed $_____ in year 1.

The schedule above is an estimate of the special taxes and assessments to be collected on your annual property tax bill. This amount will be increased consistent with the engineer’s news record construction index for the Los Angeles area.
