There are two types of service charges: the flat rate and the sliding rate.

• The flat rate service charge of $130.00 a year applies to single-family homes and parcels with less than 10 percent impervious surface.

• The sliding rate service charge applies to all other properties in the service area. The sliding rate is calculated by measuring the amount of impervious surface on each parcel and multiplying the appropriate rate by total acreage.

Several special rate categories will automatically be assigned to those who qualify.

• An exemption for any home owned and occupied by a low-income senior citizen determined by the assessor to qualify under RCW 84.36.381.

• A discount for any parcel served by a city-approved retention/detention (R/D) facility maintained by the owner.

• A discount for any parcel (or part parcel) officially designated as open space.

Categories with Retention/Detention Facilities

Alternative Mobile Home Park Charge

• Mobile home park assessment can be the lower of the appropriate rate category or the number of mobile home spaces multiplied by the single-family residential rate.

Rate Adjustments

Any person receiving a bill may file a request for a rate adjustment within two years of the billing date. (Filing a request will not extend the payment period.)

Property owners should file a request for a change in the rate assessed if:

• The property acreage is incorrect;

• The measured impervious surface is incorrect;

• The property is charged a sliding fee when the fee should be flat;

• The person or property qualifies for an exemption or discount; or

• The property is wholly or in part outside the service area.
