STREET LIGHT & SAFETY LIGHT MAINTENANCE

The Department of Transportation maintains street lights and safety lights in the County of Sacramento. The maintenance, operation, and electrical cost of street and safety lighting is funded by County Service Area 1 (CSA 1). Through CSA 1, property owners are assessed a direct levy on their annual property tax bill to maintain the lights. CSA 1 provides funding for over 28,000 County maintained, and 2,150 Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD) maintained, street lights and safety lights in unincorporated Sacramento County, and in the cities of Citrus Heights and Rancho Cordova.
