Drainage fees do not appear on your utility bill but are collected with your King County property taxes. The fee is shown on your tax bill as SWM (Surface Water Management) or Drainage. After February 15, you can view your 2008 drainage fee by entering your property tax ID in the King County Property Tax Information System.
(1) Single Family Residential & Duplex parcels less than 10,000 square feet which are charged a flat rate per parcel rather than a fee based on the percent impervious. Rates for other properties are per 1,000 square feet based on the percent of impervious surface.
(2) 2007 All Other Properties rates were on a per acre basis and have been converted to per 1,000 square feet for comparison purposes.
(3) A customer in the Undeveloped, Light or Medium rate category with a significant amount of highly pervious (absorbent) surface may qualify for the Low Impact rate.
(4) "Very heavy" does not necessarily mean heavily developed. A parking lot would be classified as "very heavy" since it is 100% impervious.
Eligible low income customers can receive a credit. Learn more about the Payment Assistance Program.
