[1] These receivables typically relate to infrastructure improvements we make with respect to our communities. We are generally reimbursed for the cost of such improvements when they are accepted by the utility company, improvement district or municipality, or after certain events occur, depending on the terms of the applicable agreements. These events may include, but are not limited to, the connection of utilities or the issuance of bonds by the respective improvement districts or municipalities.
[2] As described in Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies, in 2016, we reclassified estimated probable insurance and other recoveries from our self-insurance liability to receivables for all years presented.
