Stormwater Management Fee Credit Program

Are you interested in reducing your Stormwater Management Fee?

Please review the forms below to learn more about decreasing your stormwater utility fee. If you're managing/mitigating stormwater onsite, beyond that which is required by the City's Municipal Code and Public Works Design and Construction Standards you may be eligible.

• Commercial, industrial, and multi-family housing owners can reduce the amount of their stormwater fees by reducing runoff through infiltration, detaining runoff onsite, or educating employees or residents on runoff through newsletters, brochures, flyers, or training.
• Single-family residence owners can decrease their stormwater fees if they have reduced runoff volume through infiltration techniques such as rain gardens, pervious patios, or pervious driveways; or have trees that are not in the public right-of-way and are large enough to mitigate runoff.  

To receive a credit on your utility bill, please complete the appropriate application below and submit it for review by the City. When an application is approved, the rate adjustment is retroactive to the date when the application was received and the reduced rate is in effect until December 31st of that year. An annual renewal is required by December 31st of each year with approval resulting in a reduced rate for the following calendar year.
