Peoria City residents will see the way they pay for garbage service change this year. The proposed Peoria City/County intergovernmental agreement will combine garbage service fees with property tax bills.
Both the Peoria City Council and Peoria County Board are scheduled to approve the deal this week. It provides for the city to pay the county $150,000 a year for billing and collection of garbage pick-up service fee. That will save the city about half of what it’s currently paying.
What it means for home owners in the City of Peoria is the last stand-alone garbage bill will come in March. Property tax bills generated in late April will have an additional $126 for garbage service from April to December. That amount will be payable with June and September properties taxes.
Those who escrow can anticipate seeing the adjustment in the annual notice that come from their mortgage company around November.
