Taxes & Fees

Annexation saves you money! Click on the links below to read more about the lower fees and taxes that annexation provides! See map for details of annexation.

  • City residents do not pay the 5% utility users tax that County residents pay, saving residents an average of about $200 annually. Also, city residents pay a substantially less trash collection fee and receive better services, saving residents about $70 annually. And no fuel surcharge.

  • The City assesses a higher streetlight fee and a new stormwater fee, however, these higher fees are more than offset by the reduction in the above listed taxes and fees. These increased fees total an average $69 annually.

  • Lower Stonecrest residents will also be assessed for an inflationary increase to the LMD fee cap. This increase averages only $24 annually over 10 years and is more than offset by the reduction in taxes and fees.

  • The Upper Stonecrest HOA will not be affected by the annexation.
