My
property is currently on a septic tank. Will I be required
to connect to the City's sewer system?
No.
Properties with functioning septic systems will not be required
to connect. Access to the City's sewer system will be
at the discretion and benefit of the property owner.
If
I choose to hook into the sewer system, what will the monthly
cost of service be?
The
City's sewer rate is $15.06 per house per month. This
rate has not been raised in seven years. County residents
that annex to the City, that are currently hooked into the sewer
system, will have their sewer rate decreased by the value
of the 50% utility district surcharge.
Will
my property taxes increase?
No.
There will be no change in the amount of property taxes paid.
Property owners in the City pay the same rate of property taxes
that property owners pay in the unincorporated County areas.
Annexation will ensure that a greater portion of the property
taxes that you currently pay will be reinvested back into the
local community.
What services will be changed as a result of annexation?
Fire protection services will be unchanged. The Fontana
Police Department instead of the County Sheriff will provide
public safety services and the levels of Police services will
be increased. Some expanded City services that residents
can expect include: graffiti removal, street sweeping,
tree trimming, street improvements and maintenance and sewer
availability.
