American Ranch Rates & Fees
The American Ranch Domestic Water Improvement District is a taxing authority and as such has authority to collect fees pursuant to A.R.S. Title 48, et.al. Fees are charged to the property owner and run with the land. Liens may be filed for past due accounts. If you are buying or selling property within the boundaries of the District, it is important that you confirm with your title company that all District fees have been reported and collected. A public hearing is held annually for the Board of Directors to adopt a budget of expenses for the coming fiscal year and to set rates to cover those expenses.
