The Stormwater Utility fee rate for Calendar Year 2025 was set at $258 per ERU. Your stormwater utility fee is calculated by the number of ERUs on your property multiplied by $258. Note that the utility fee is based on a cost recovery model, so it is dependent upon the adopted budget each year. The County Board officially adopted the CY 2025 Stormwater Utility fee in April 2025.
