Fees
The Surface Water Quality Management fee covers the costs for improving, maintaining, and operating the city's storm water system. For more information on these fees, contact Public Works at (952) 474-3464.
The rates for parcels of land are determined by multiplying the Residential Equivalent Factor (REF) for a parcel's land use by the parcel's acreage, and then multiplying the resulting product by the storm water drainage rate. The REF values for various land uses and 2019 rates are as follows:
Land Uses
| REF
|
---|
Business per Warehousing per Industrial | 2.4 |
Public per Institutional | 1.5 |
Commercial | 2.3 |
High-Density Residential | 1.7 |
Low-Density Residential | 0.25 |
Medium-Density Residential | 1.1 |
Thus, the 2019 rates are:
Area
| Rate
|
---|
Residential Equivalent Factor (REF) | $172.80 per quarter |
Low-Density Residential | $43.20 per quarter |
Port of Excelsior | $8.48 per seating capacity |
