If you have an assessment on your tax bill labeled American River Flood Zone A, B, or C, your property is in the American River Flood Control District and may flood should one of the levees fail or be overtopped. Therefore, your property is receiving a special benefit by our levee maintenance and is being assessed in proportion to the benefit received.
