- 01/08/2026
An independent analysis of the City of Fernandina Beach's stormwater utility fee structure and its alignment with cost-of-service principles and equity standards.
DOGE BOTTOM LINE
The City's current stormwater utility fee structure does not fully recover the cost of service, shifts costs to property taxpayers, and lacks the transparency needed for a fair and sustainable funding model.
