You often find 'special assesment' taxes for areas that are working on improving infrastructure, sewer lines, etc.  Keep in touch with your settlement attorney as they are the ones that will be getting all of that information.  You can also contact your local tax office as those fees will have to be approved and they would have a record of that.
