Cal. SHC § 6481

When it is desired that new bonds be issued, an application therefor in writing signed by the owner of any interest in any of the lots or parcels, including condominium interests, into which the original lot or parcel has been divided, or by the owner of the lots or parcels into which the original lots or parcels have been combined, shall be filed with the street superintendent. The application shall indicate how the original lot or parcel has been divided or how the original lots or parcels have been combined, request the street superintendent to apportion the amount remaining unpaid on the assessment in accordance with the division or combination, and be accompanied by a fee of five dollars ($5) for each separate part or parcel of land into which the original lot or parcel has been divided or for each original lot or parcel from which the newly combined lots or parcels were aggregated. If the legislative body determines that the fee set forth above is not sufficient to reimburse the city for the necessary administrative costs in processing applications under this chapter, the legislative body by resolution may fix a fee in an amount that will reimburse the city for the necessary costs in processing applications under this chapter. The street superintendent shall deposit all of these fees in the treasury.
