Orlando Stormwater Utility Fee

The City of Orlando first established a stormwater utility fee in 1989 to address and manage the challenges of stormwater runoff, pollution, and flooding. The fee funds the operation, construction, and maintenance of stormwater devices that help reduce the amount of pollution that reaches our lakes; stormwater system planning including stormwater pipes, canals, and retention ponds; and lake management including water quality and aquatic plantings. The annual stormwater utility fee for developed property is based on the overall impervious square footage within a parcel of land within the City.
