After delaying approval of rates for San Benito County’s mosquito abatement district assessment fee July 9, supervisors approved an 8.1 percent increase to bring the assessment to $10.90 per parcel.
Property owners living in the mosquito abatement district may see their annual property assessment increase by 82 cents if San Benito County supervisors approve the change after a public hearing on July 9.
Agricultural commissioner Ron Ross recommended that the assessment fee for the mosquito abatement program stay the same for 2012-13 during a public hearing June 19, during which San Benito County supervisors concurred.
