Credit is given to eligible commercial, industrial and multifamily properties only. A maintenance agreement must be executed. Stormwater fee payers qualify for credit when it can be demonstrated that their existing or new stormwater facility meets provisions as outlined in the Stormwater Management Ordinance, the Fee Credit Manual and the NC (BMP) Best Management Practices Manual.
