How are LIDs started?
A property owner, or other interested party in your neighborhood, contacts the LID department (Ralph Rodriguez at (253) 591-5522) and requests a petition form and an information packet to circulate among the property owners within the proposed improvement district. The petition packet will contain a list of property owners of record within the improvement district, as shown in the Pierce County tax records. We will also provide the telephone numbers of each owner of record when possible. The petitioner then contacts all of the affected property owners on the list and solicits their support for the desired improvement. When signatures of property owners representing 50% or more of the property frontage abutting the improvement have been gained, the petition is then returned to the LID office.
