Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU)

What is an MSBU?

A Municipal Services Benefit Unit is a non-ad valorem assessment district established to provide for funding for improvements in a specific geographic area within the county. An MSBU is a group of properties that share in the cost and benefit of that improvement. There are two types of MSBUs:

• Street lighting for areas outside city limits
• Construction improvements for road paving, drainage and other projects
