LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT 1984-1
The Landscaping and Lighting District 1984-1 (L&LD) is a funding mechanism established by local governments under the State of California’s Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Section 22500, et seq.). L&LDs give property owners within a defined geographic area (Zone) the opportunity to fund enhanced maintenance and preservation of landscaping and related improvements that directly benefit their properties. In the City of San Ramon, the Public Services Division manages 19 Special Zones, each providing a special benefit through the installation, upkeep, and enhancement of landscaping and other improvements.
Maintenance services within each zone are exclusively funded through annual assessments levied on properties within that zone. These assessments, collected with regular property taxes, are dedicated solely to the administration, operation, and maintenance of the respective zone—ensuring that all revenues directly support the neighborhoods they serve.
