The District <br />has proposed a County wide assessment on all property to provide funding <br />to continue the red fire ant program, improve mosquito control, establish <br />the West Nile Virus Disease Program and monitor and test for disease. <br /> <br />Under the provisions of Proposition 218, any publicly owned property must <br />be assessed when it receives a benefit from a proposed assessment <br />district.
