Additional Information

The Enhanced Service District fee is paid by entities who meet the following criteria for properties within a district’s boundaries, in order of importance:

  1. Financially responsible for the water service to a property,
  2. Exclusively occupy a property, or
  3. Exhibit other indicators of property management

Examples include property owners, tenants, property management services, and developers.

The entity responsible for the fee at the beginning of a license year is responsible for the entire year's assessment unless the Revenue Division approves a transfer before the second installment becomes due. Transfer requests should be reported to the Revenue Division in writing and may be approved upon the Division’s confirmation that a new entity meets the criteria listed above.  Second installment balances become the responsibility of the new entity for transfers prior to the due date.

Assessment Appeals

Responsibility for the fee or the amount assessed may be appealed within 30 days of the date of the annual fee notice. 

  • To appeal responsibility for the fee, the appellant must clearly demonstrate why they believe they are not responsible as defined by Portland City Code 6.06.020.H.4 or 6.06.050
  • To appeal the amount of the fee, the appellant must clearly demonstrate the data or formula used to calculate the fee is incorrect in accordance with the appropriate sections of Portland City Code 6.06 for the district in which the property is located.
