Pending Assessments

Assessments are charged for water, sewer, and roadway (curb gutter) improvements authorized by City Council. These costs are only a portion of the costs for making a particular improvement. The remainder of the cost is assumed by the City. The amount assessed is determined by multiplying the property frontage (number of feet that abuts the right-of-way) by the rate per foot as set by the City Council’s Notice of Public Hearing/Resolution. There are also set fees for laterals (the connections to the water and/or sewer mains at the right-of-way line which connects the service). Certain allowances will be considered when the property is a corner lot. The property is subject to an exemption if improvements are made to the front (shortest side of the property) and to the side of the property. An area zoned residential may receive a maximum exemption of 150 feet for water and sewer and up to 60 feet for roadway (curb & gutter). Properties zoned commercial (or other than residential) may receive a maximum exemption of 100 feet for water and sewer, but no exemption on roadway (curb & gutter) is allowed. Generally, the assessment charges are levied within several months after the project's completion and the final payment has been made on the construction contract. Assessments, charges and fees are computed within the Business & Technology Division of the Engineering & Inspections Department. The City Council will confirm all assessment rolls prior to any bills being mailed out to the current property owner by the City of Greensboro's Collections Division. Upon receipt of the bill, the property owner can make payment in full within 90 days or may elect to pay by installments. If the installment method is chosen, 10 equal payments would be collected annually in September with a 6% per annum interest charge added to the unpaid balance.
