Natasha Lane assessments

A Natasha Lane homeowner worried the $3,200 annual assessment on top of $13,000 property taxes strains family budgets, and questioned why a one-time $67,000 repair becomes a permanent annual charge.

Another Natasha Lane resident said the assessment is hard on growing families trying to make ends meet.

A resident noted the city has been quietly absorbing this street's maintenance costs in the budget for years and supported finally addressing it.
