What are specials?
Tags:
Specials are rather unique to Wichita, but they consist of the infrastructure such as storm sewer, waterlines, sanitary sewer, and roads being built for the subdivision rather than the developer paying for these and adding them to the price of the lot. They are done through the city on special bonds and paid as a special tax. The bonds are sold at a lower interest rate than what you would be getting if you were borrowing money for the house. They also generally spread out the cost of the infrastructure improvements for 20 years.
