Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the formation of community infrastructure districts.
RS33763 / H0926 Community Infrastructure Districts (CID) were created by the legislature in 2008 to ensure that new development pays for required public infrastructure without shifting those costs to existing taxpayers. The legislation aligns county and city authority by allowing counties to form a CID in unincorporated areas outside a city’s comprehensive plan, ensuring that counties have access to the same infrastructure financing mechanism already available to cities when they serve as the primary land-use authority.

Amends and adds to existing law to provide for a temporary assessment to fund fire protection and emergency medical services.
Community Infrastructure Districts (CIDs) were created by the legislature in 2008 to ensure that new development pays for required public infrastructure without shifting those costs to existing taxpayers. This legislation clarifies the circumstances under which a county may form a CID, including when a CID is formed outside a city's comprehensive plan. It updates and modernizes provisions governing CID financing, including adjustments to bond terms and district lifecycle provisions, and limits certain administration levies. The bill also authorizes a limited, temporary residential fee in districts formed after January 1, 2026, to help offset costs for fire protection and emergency medical services associated with new residential growth.
