Stormwater Utility Fee

If you live in a single-family home, townhome, or duplex, your annual Stormwater Utility fee will be based on the amount of impervious area on your property. The fee will be included on your real estate bill as a separate line item. If you have a mortgage, your mortgage company will pay the fee as part of your escrow. If you are a renter, the fee will be paid by the property manager/owner and may be included in your rent.

Multi-family residential properties, including condominiums and apartments, will be billed a flat fee of 0.18 ERU per unit. If you own a condo, the fee will be included on your real estate bill as a separate line item. If you rent an apartment or condo, the fee will be paid by the property manager/owner and may be included in your rent.

Non-residential commercial properties will be charged the Stormwater Utility fee based on the amount of impervious area on each property, per ERU ($258 for Calendar Year 2024).

Most places of worship, federal properties, and nonprofit and tax-exempt properties that were exempt from the sanitary district tax will not be exempt from the utility fee. The Stormwater Utility fee will be charged like other services provided by the County (e.g., water, sewer), which are not tax exempt.
