The City of Modesto’s Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) are created to provide a funding and reimbursement mechanism for public facilities and/or services for various Specific Plan areas. Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) are the preferred method of financing infrastructure because no finding of special benefit for each parcel is required. They are also established to ensure that new development projects do not solely become the responsibility of the General Fund.
Under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, a Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) may be used to purchase, construct, expand, rehabilitate or acquire public improvements, or provide public services.
