Set sanitary and storm sewer fees for collection on property tax bills
In Plain English
The city charges property owners fees for maintaining the sewer system that carries wastewater and stormwater. These fees appear as separate line items on your annual property tax bill. If approved, the city can collect these fees through the county tax system starting with the 2012-2013 tax year.

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved a system to collect sewer maintenance fees through your property tax bill starting in 2012-2013. These fees, which fund both wastewater and stormwater sewer systems, will appear as separate line items on your annual tax statement and be collected by the county along with your regular property taxes. This is an administrative change in how the city collects existing fees rather than the creation of new charges. The approval allows the city to use the county's established tax collection system instead of billing residents directly.
