Exemptions for vacancies at mobile home parks can be requested by the owner and will be provided upon proof the vacancies exist. Households subject to fees are those in existence on January 1, 2022. New households will be added upon completion as verified by the County building permit. b. The rural household disposal and recycling center fee shall be billed with the ad valorem taxes and shall be payable at the same time and in the same manner as taxes. The first moneys paid shall be applied to the solid waste fee. Interest on delinquent fees shall be assessed in the same manner as though the fee were ad valorem taxes. The annual fee shall become a lien upon the real property as though it were ad valorem taxes. c. The entry into any convenience center, the landfill site or transfer station of any vehicle signifies the consent of the owner and driver of the vehicle for it to be searched so that it can be ensured that no hazardous or prohibited substance is brought into the Convenience Center, landfill or transfer station. d. All haulers who must pay the per ton disposal fee shall pay at the time the solid waste or recyclables are delivered to the landfill site or transfer station unless arrangements have been made for periodic billing. e. Solid waste collections from institutional facilities through the Solid Waste Division will be done at the rate of two dollars and fifty-four cents ($2.54) per cubic yard for solid waste and at the rate of one dollar and forty-nine cents ($1.49) per cubic yard for cardboard. Fee charged is based on the container size, not the amount of contents. f. Private haulers collecting rural (outside municipality) household waste will be required to furnish the County Tax Assessor a list of all his rural clients in Lee County. This list must be delivered to the Tax Assessor prior to March 1, 2022.

The private haulers will also be required to furnish a monthly client cancellation list to the Tax Assessor who in turn will bill these clients for the remaining annual disposal fee.
