We are all part of multiple tax districts created for a specific service. Districts can provide services such as flood control, mosquito abatement, water, cemetery. You can find what districts you live in listed on your tax statement. You are charged a tax to fund the service each district provides.
In an effort toward self governance, Box Elder County created a district in South Willard called the South Willard Bay Special Service District. The services the county allowed to be included in the district were sewerage, drainage, garbage, health care, transportation, recreation, fire protection, emergency medical and ambulance, street lighting, animal shelter and control. The County tried to include all services a city would typically take care of in an effort to help South Willard move toward self governance.
