History of East Contra Costa County Lighting & Landscaping District In the beginning EBRPD did not encompass all of the 2 counties In 1981, the District annexed East Contra Costa County to be part of EBRPD, without benefit of additional property tax. A Citizen s Task Force was convened to figure out how to fund the newly annexed area, which was rapidly changing from farmland and ranches to residential development. In 1991, the LLD was formed to fund maintenance and operations in the East Contra Costa County area. Assessment $19.70 per SFR parcel has not changed in 25 years!
