FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Assessments & Billing
Assessments pay for the maintenance of canals and structures, delivery of surface water as well as recharging the groundwater that is used each year.
Assessments can only be refunded if they were billed in error.
Parcels within the city are under contract with the city so you will not see a charge from the District.
If your property is within the city boundaries and is being charged an assessment, your property may be on District water service. You may request to change your current rate from water service and have the assessment removed by contacting the Assessor at (559) 233-7161. You must be in the city to have the assessment removed.
Yes. In order to change the rate you will need to fill out a “Change in Relative Value” form. This form and further explanation can be obtained by calling the Assessor at (559) 233-7161.
Rates are only changed once a year during “Board of Equalization”, in June, and are changed for the following tax year. The change must meet certain criteria and are subject to approval.
This information can be obtained by calling the Assessor at (559) 233-7161.
In order to remove a lien, payment must be received, in full, for the past due assessment as well as all other charges associated with the delinquency. To obtain the correct amount to pay, please call the Assessor at (559) 233-7161.
No, the district does not accept partial payments. Payment must be the full and correct amount of the individual tax year in order to be processed. If multiple tax years are past due, individual years may be paid without paying all years, but each year must receive full payment at the time of payment.
Property & Facility Locations
Use the FID WSO locator to determine if you are within FID's boundaries
All facility location inquiries can be taken up with the capable District Engineering staff in-person or over the phone. We do not allow facility locations to be looked-up online due to survey legality and GIS accuracy. We prefer to personally help each District grower in precisely locating any facilities that may be in or near your property.
If you need an underground District facility flagged or marked on your property, please contact the District Engineering staff. We would be more than happy to schedule a time to come to your property and mark as much of the facility as our equipment allows.
Water Delivery & Use
The start of water season (when the District begins to provide irrigation to farmers located within the District’s boundary) is dependent on the hydrological conditions of the watershed of the Kings River. During normal and wet years, deliveries may start as soon as March 1. However, during dry years, water may start as late as June 1.
