An annual assessment for the services provided through the Solid Waste Collection & Disposal MSBU is collected in advance via the property tax bill. Each residential dwelling unit on a property is assessed as a billing unit. Assessment records are managed through the MSBU Program.

Residential property owners are offered a choice from the following curbside collection options at the noted assessment rate. Property owners generally prefer option 1 as it offers all service categories with the greatest frequency of collection. Newly constructed homes are assigned option 1. New owners of existing homes assume the prior owner’s option unless a change is requested.
 

The service option registered to a property is available for look-up on-line.

Property owners are encouraged to request desired option changes by September 1. All change requests for the new service year that are received on or before September 1 will be recorded for inclusion on the property tax bill to be distributed in November. Collection option changes can be requested on-line or by contacting the MSBU Program office. Owners will be mailed a written confirmation of requested option changes.

Option upgrades (changes resulting in an increased assessment) are processed throughout the service year with the pro-rated assessment increase being direct billed to the property owner. All option downgrades (changes that yield a reduced assessment) must be received by September 1 to be effective with the forthcoming property tax billing and the new service year. Option downgrade requests received after September 1 will be held for implementation with the following tax year.
