Yes, if approved, buyers of Rialto’s 81 planned condominiums near Foothill Boulevard and Spruce Avenue would pay a yearly landscaping and lighting assessment on their property tax bills. The documents do not show the Sept 22 vote yet.
What the city is deciding
The City Council was asked to begin adding three developments to Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2, which collects yearly assessments for public landscaping and streetlight upkeep. The September 22 proposal called for a November 10 hearing and property owner ballots. That initial action would not itself impose the assessment; the council would decide after the hearing and ballot count.
Where and who it affects
The residential development covers two parcels totaling 5.12 acres north of West Foothill Boulevard and west of North Spruce Avenue. It proposes 81 condominiums. One commercial and one industrial development are also included, but existing Rialto homes elsewhere are outside this annexation.
What it could mean for your property
The city’s first year totals for the condominium development are $22,415.32 for landscaping and $261.47 for lighting. Dividing the city’s totals by 81 homes gives about $280 a year each, an Insider Realty estimate; the report does not state a per-home figure.
The assessment would appear on the property tax bill. It would fund upkeep of approximately 6,772 square feet of landscaping along Foothill Boulevard and Spruce Avenue, plus new streetlights on those roads. The landscaping budget also includes utilities, administration and reserves.
The maximum assessment can rise each year with local inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index. The documents state no end date.
Ballots go to owners of record, which the roll lists as the developer, Warmington Rialto Associates LP. Ballots are weighted by each property’s share of the assessment.
Questions to ask before you buy or build
- Is the condominium inside District No. 2, and in which zone?
- What annual assessment amount applies to the unit?
- How has the maximum assessment changed with local inflation?
What happens next
The documents call for a hearing November 10, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers, 150 South Palm Avenue, Rialto. Ballots may reach the City Clerk by mail or in person through the hearing’s conclusion. Written protests may be filed before it ends. If opposing ballots do not outweigh supporting ballots, the council may approve the annexation and assessments.
