General Information

Properties may have recycling, sewer, and water charges depending on access to these services. Most of these charges are included on the annual property tax notice. Metered Water and Interim Utility bills are sent out separately from the Property Tax Notice. Interim Utility bills are sent to homes that have been using utility services for only a portion of the year and were not charged on the property tax notice. A Final Metered Water Reading is a requested service,  usually because of a sale.
