How long do front foot benefits last?

Front foot benefits (or deferred water and sewer assessments) typically have an assessment term of 20 to 40 years depending on the jurisdiction.

Some counties, like Prince George's County, require that the assessment term cannot be longer than 20 years for any assessments formed after October 1, 2014. In most counties, there is no restriction on the assessment term, and they can range up to 40 years.
