In this episode, the El Dorado Hills Community Services District (CSD) is exposed for improperly forming a districtwide Community Facilities District (CFD). This was achieved by allowing a single landowner to vote to impose a tax on all subsequent homeowners, while exempting developer properties throughout the entire community, forevermore.

This action bypassed the required notice to registered voters within the proposed CFD, nullified the proper public hearing and corresponding vote, and effectively contravened the CSD’s written policy, which mandates equitable tax distribution among all properties. This CSD tax scheme underscores the imperative for transparency and adherence to legal protocols in local governance.
