How do I pay?
Most customers receive
the bill as a line item on their real estate tax bill that is received directly
or through their mortgage company in May and October each year. Properties who
do not pay real estate tax, receive a bill for just the stormwater utility
fee. Contact the Finance department for assistance or to pay a bill.
