Report
Summary
Under the provisions of (A.R.S.) Chapter 20, Title 48 - Special Taxing Districts, when the majority of lot or parcel owners entitled to or capable of receiving irrigation water from the same system want irrigation water delivered to their lands, they may propose the organization of an Irrigation Water Delivery District (IWDD). The County requires that applicants for an IWDD within City of Phoenix boundaries obtain City Council support before the County will start the process of forming or re-establishing a district.
If approved by the City Council, landowning neighbors seeking an IWDD complete a special taxation impact statement and submit this document to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors, along with Salt River Project, will decide if a petition to organize an IWDD may be circulated.
This request has been reviewed and approved by the Water Services Department.
Financial Impact
This action has no financial impact to the City of Phoenix.
