Answer:

special assessment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Special assessment districts are usually neighborhoods or city areas (including more than one neighborhood) that are benefited from public improvements (e.g. new parks, new lighting, new sidewalks, new roads, etc.), but some of the costs of the improvements are passed to the homeowners through special assessments. Special assessments are specific tax increases levied on real estate in order to pay for these improvements.
