I believe the OP was talking of the infrastructure bonds. Where I lived in Maryland, this was called the front foot benefit charge. Basically the same thing.

My bond was paid by the original buyer. Saved me $20,000. The new homes did not have the features I wanted and cost the same as mine but also had the full bond. I was also able to negotiate price.
