In October 2017, the county approved a new five-year term for the Special Assessment District. The rates are the same as they have been since 2008; $220 for lakefront owners, $140 for normal lake access owners, and $70 for North Lakes Farms owners. In 2016 and 2017 only 50% of these rates were charged due to savings in the program. Much of these savings are due to the work of the North Lake volunteers who do the water testing and survey the lake for changes in weed growth. The Special Assessment district period runs through 2022. The NLPA will initiate the renewal process in early 2022 to continue the program. Our volunteers are not only helping the lake, but they are saving all of us money on our tax assessments. The NLPA looks forward to continued success in cost effective treatment of our lake.
