The undergrounding cost & property value impact estimator
These are planning-level estimates based on recent comparable undergrounding projects. Actual costs, assessments, subsidies, and property value impacts could change at any time as the project moves through design, bidding, and City approval.

Excludes the private conversion cost (typically $3,500–$7,500 per home) to connect from the property line to the house, which is not financed through the assessment bond. The City subsidy is a planning assumption, not a committed allocation, and would need City Council approval to draw on Measure J funds. Figures are planning estimates, not final assessment amounts.

Only the incremental value bump attributable to undergrounding is grown at the appreciation rate — not your home's baseline value, which would appreciate with or without undergrounding either way. That grown bump is compared against the total assessment paid over the same bond term, so the two numbers are on equal footing. Actual appreciation depends on the local market and is never guaranteed.
