The city has two stormwater parcel fees that are paid annually by all property owners. These fees are assessed through property taxes and generate approximately $3.9 million a year (2009-10). While the Stormwater User Fee is a flat fee year to year, the Clean Beaches & Ocean Parcel Tax is tied to the Consumer Price Index and adjust accordingly. Revenues from these fees support the city’s watershed management program and the city’s obligation to comply with federal and state Clean Water Act regulations, efforts which protect water quality and protect human life.
