Stormwater utility fee review

Bangor

Summary

The stormwater fee hasn't gone up since it was created around 2012-2014. Staff want to bring data-backed fee-increase proposal in FY28, and at least one councilor wants a broader look at citywide fees that haven't kept up with inflation.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

A fee increase is likely coming in FY28 — the fund brings in roughly $900,000–$940,000 a year now.

✅Who benefits

Property owners with impervious surfaces pay the fee, so any increase touches most property owners — but it funds flood control and consent decree work.

⚠️Who could be affected

Property owners who would pay higher stormwater bills if the FY28 increase is adopted.
