Stormwater Fees

The Federal Government has required all storm water districts to comply with the Federal Clean Water Act. To comply with this unfunded mandate, the Gary Storm Water District Board of Directors passed Resolution Number SW11-06 (July 2011) to establish the creation of a storm water district user fee.
User fees are billed by the Lake County Treasurer's Property Tax Bill and distributed as such. The stormwater user fee shall be due on the same payment date as the Lake County Treasurer's Tax Bill.
Residential Single Family, Duplex, and Three Unit buildings are billed at a rate of $5.00 per month
Commercial Apartments of 4-19 Units are billed at a rate of $15.00 per month
Industrial is billed at a rate of $35.00 per month
