Questions Regarding Your Bill

Forms of Payment Accepted

  • Credit / Debit Card - Online payments only.
  • Check / Money Order are the only accepted forms of payment via drop off or the mail. Do not send cash.

Low Impact Parcel Credit

Yes, homeowners with a two-acre lot or more are eligible for a Low Impact Parcel Credit if their lot is less than 15% of the impervious area. Also, any homeowner who participates in one of the City's Adopt-A-Path/Park (PDF) programs is eligible for a Watershed Stewardship Credit (PDF). In order to receive the credit on your annual bill, you must submit your application by March 1 of the year. If this due date is not met, the credit will be applied to the following year's bill. All credit applications must follow the standards outlined in the Stormwater Credit Technical Manual (PDF).

Helpful Terminology

Here are some helpful explanations regarding the sections of your stormwater utility bill:

  • Account Number - this is the number we use to tie to your account
  • Equiv Res Units - if you are a non-single-family residential (NSFR) customer, your bill is based directly on the number of Equivalent Residential Units (or ERUs) of impervious surface on your property. 1 ERU is 4,600 square feet of impervious surface. The impervious surface includes any surface on your property where normal stormwater cannot soak directly into the ground. Examples of the impervious surface include sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, compacted gravel, patios, etc.
  • Service Address - the physical address or property location information taken from the Fayette County Tax Assessor's Office
  • Property Location - a description taken from the Fayette County Tax Assessor's Office
  • Property Identifier - a number the City can cross-reference to our mapping system for your property
  • Parcel Reference - the tax parcel number for your property from the Fayette County Tax Assessor's Office
  • Service Period - the period of time for which this bill covers.
  • Billing Date - The effective date of the bill (the date the bill was sent from our system).
  • Due Date - The date the bill payment is due to the City.
