Stormwater Fee Appeal

Erroneous Billing or Correction of the Impervious Area 

The City would provide adjustments in the Stormwater Fee for erroneous billing that may result from miscalculation of the impervious area.

Full or Partial Exemption

The City would provide a full or partial exemption of the Stormwater fee to properties whose stormwater runoff from impervious areas does not utilize any portion of the City storm water system. Properties that may qualify include those that discharge directly to:

• Tennessee River
• Other “waters of the state” having no City stormwater structures downstream of the property
• Any other conveyance system having no City stormwater structures downstream of the property (ex: sanitary sewer)
  • This does not include the Combined Sanitary Sewer area downtown as this conveyance system includes both storm and sanitary sewer

Submit the completed application Stormwater Fee Appeal Form  with any supporting documentation to the City of Chattanooga Water Quality Program for review and investigation. Contact information is provided on the appeal form.
