§ 20-3-204. CHANGE OF CLASSIFICATIONS; UNIFORMITY; WATER SERVICE AND SEWERAGE RATES.
Latest version.
The county shall change the classification of properties from time to time as such
properties change in the uses to which they are put. The county shall be empowered
and directed to make a charge upon every building and place having a connection with
the sewerage system under its control, such charge to be an annual sewerage service
charge. The county shall be empowered in its discretion to create subclassifications
of any such class in each fiscal year so as to reflect the cost of installation of
any such water pipe or sanitary sewer in any such year. All assessments and charges,
except connection charges and charges or assessments made pursuant to agreement under § 20-1-117 of this article, shall be uniform for each class of property and for each such subclassification
thereof throughout the district. Such assessment shall be subject to change annually
and shall be collected by the Director of Budget and Finance, as set forth in § 20-3-202 of this subtitle, excepting the water service rates, which shall be collected as
already specified in § 20-1-115 of this article. For those water supply systems not falling under the provisions
of §§ 20-1-113, 20-1-115, 20-1-116, and 20-1-120 through 20-1-122 of this article but constructed and operated by the county, water service rates shall
be established by the county.
