A. When any property within the city becomes vacant and utility services are discontinued (if applicable), a waiver of the street maintenance fee may be granted by the Finance Director upon written application of the person responsible, including a signed statement, affirming under penalty of perjury that the property is vacant, and upon payment of all outstanding sanitary sewer and street maintenance charges.
B. For purposes of this section, "vacant" shall mean that an entire building or utility billing unit has become vacant or continuously unoccupied for at least 30 days. “Vacant” shall not mean that only a portion of a property without a separate water meter has become vacant or unoccupied.
C. Fees shall be waived in accordance with this section only while the property remains vacant. The person responsible shall notify the city within 5 days of the premises being occupied, partially occupied or used, regardless of whether utility service is restored.
