MSTU/Assessments

Through the road assessment program, the MSTU/Assessment Department has been able to assist in the paving of more than 600 miles of roadways within subdivisions throughout the Marion County. In 1999 the Board of County Commissioners approved using the program to also provide road maintenance within subdivisions, and for other special assessments as requested by homeowners. The MSTU/Assessments Department is also responsible for the implementation and management of over 50 MSTU's (Municipal Service Taxing Units) and MSBU's (Municipal Service Benefit Units) within Marion County under the direction of the Board of County Commissioners. These projects provide revenue for services such as recreation, street lighting, road maintenance, road improvements, and general services that would not otherwise be available through the general tax dollars.
