As predicted, the County Commissioners passed the full 20% increase for the Waste Management non ad valorem tax for residential solid waste collection, distribution and recycling rate for the fiscal year 2024-2025.

At this month’s BOCC meeting County staff proposed a tentative increase of the non ad valorem tax for residential solid waste collection, distribution and recycling rate for the fiscal year 2024-2025 of 10%, or $45.71, for a total cost of $502.86 per household. This was the amount the staff felt was appropriate for the increase in costs for Waste Management.
