The Lake Shenandoah Stormwater Control Authority (currently made up of the members of the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors) have set a proposed fee schedule for collecting revenue from property owners within the Lake Shenandoah Watershed to allow for funding of the stormwater management improvements needed within the watershed.
A public hearing will be held on March 25, 2020 regarding the fees, but here are some details of the proposed fee structure...
- Average fee per property = $276.19 per year ($23 / month)
- Townhome owners would likely pay around $80 per year ($7 / month)
- Fees are calculated based on rooftop square footage.
- The fee is $0.10 per square foot of rooftop.
- The fee will be included in your real estate tax bill, but as a separate item.
- The Stormwater Authority will mail out letters to property owners to notify them of the potential fees.
