Carrollton homeowners and businesses will see a new charge on their monthly utility bills starting Oct. 1, after City Council voted in November 2025 to create a stormwater fund dedicated to maintaining and improving the city’s drainage system.
The fee will help pay for capital projects such as drainage infrastructure, channel improvements, flood mitigation and dam upgrades, according to a news release from the city.
