5 SUMMARY STATEMENT OF INFLUENCING FACTORS
FOR MAINTENANCE DISTRICT BUDGET
The total FY 2026-2027 assessment levy for the Chadbourne-Beck-Cordelia district is proposed at $322,274, which is a 5 % increase from the total FY 202 5-2026 assessment levy of $ 306,927.
Assessment rates for each parcel vary depending on parcel size and are below the maximum allowable rate for each parcel established in 2003. All maximum rates are adjusted each year by the October SF-Oakland-Hayward All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The Bureau of Labor Statistics was unable to collect the October 2025 reference period survey data due to the 2025 federal government shut down. The August 2025 CPI was used to calculate the FY 2026-2027 maximum assessment rates.
