What method and frequency will the County use for collection of the BRF Septic Fee?
The law requires that the Bay Restoration Fund Advisory Committee, in consultation with the governing body of each County shall make recommendations on the best method of fee collection from Septic System/Holding Tank users that do not receive a water bill. The Advisory Committee is recommending the following options to Counties for timely collection of BRF fees: a. Option 1: The County, with their July 2005 property tax, bills each “Septic” user a total of $22.50 for the period 10/1/05 through 6/30/06 (Three calendar quarters). For users that make one annual property tax payments, a separate BRF fee payment voucher should be included for a payment due date of 10/1/05, or alternatively, the BRF fee should be collected through a “one-time special” billing. For users that make semi-annual property tax payments, the BRF fee should be listed separately and included with the “second semi-annual property tax voucher” or alternatively, should be collected through a “one-time special” billing.
