Purpose And Intent
San Diego Municipal Code § 61.1900
in effect§61.1900 Purpose And Intent
The purpose and intent of this Division is to provide qualified low–income owners with an alternative method for payment of special assessments levied against their real property. The Council finds and declares that state special assessment laws and city procedural ordinances providing for payments of assessments and bonds in lump sums or in annual installments often results in financial hardship to low–income owners and, in the exercise of the Council’s charter power to make suitable provision for the aid and support of the poor, determines that it is in the public interest for the City to provide a method for the deferral of payment of special assessments levied against the real property of qualified low–income owners until such time as the property is transferred or refinanced. The Council further finds and declares that all expenditures and investments made pursuant to this Division are incidental to the accomplishment of the primary purpose of making suitable provision for the aid and support of the poor.
