LAKE INVASIVE WEED ASSESSMENTS - SADs (Special Assessment Districts)
A Special Assessment is a charge against property for a public improvement that confers a special benefit to that property different from the benefit enjoyed by the general public. Special Assessments can be used for bridges, garbage/refuse pick-up, lake weed spraying, and many other projects. Sauble Township has three (3) Special Assessment Districts (SADs) initiated by lakefront property owners and/or lake associations to fund INVASIVE WEED CONTROL programs on the lakes.
