Sunny Hills Municipal Services Benefit Unit

Sunny Hills is located in unincorporated Washington County and is funded in part through a Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU). The Sunny Hills/Oak Hills MSBU was established by county ordinance to give residents a way to enhance services beyond those normally provided by the county. It is overseen by the Board of County Commissioners and guided by a five-member volunteer MSBU Advisory Committee.

For fiscal year 2026, the MSBU assessment is $40.72 per improved lot. An improved lot is defined as a lot located on a paved road, whether or not it has a structure built on it. According to the ordinance, the assessment may increase by up to 5% annually with approval from both the Advisory Committee and the Board of County Commissioners. Said benefit unit is created for the purpose of providing community services; including, but not limited to, emergency services, road improvements, street and security lighting, acquisition and improvements to common areas, beautification and other services deemed necessary by the benefit unit within the benefit unit. The purpose of these services is to maintain the quality of life of the owners of parcels by more efficiently benefiting the parcels located in the benefit unit.

Accomplishments of the Advisory Committee since June 2017 include the refurbishment of the fountain, road paving, installation of lighting, installation of flags, mowing and trash pick, installation of community electronic message board, and enhancements to Wilder Park.
