Truckee adopts 2025–26 solid waste rates, orders delinquent service charges onto property tax roll

The Truckee Town Council on June 10 adopted new solid‑waste rates for fiscal year 2025–26 and approved a process to place delinquent residential solid‑waste balances on the county tax roll.

Adopted rates and fees

The council adopted Resolution 2025-41 establishing the residential and commercial solid‑waste rates for the coming fiscal year. Using the franchise agreement’s cost‑based adjustment and an independent consultant review, staff reported the following adjustments for Rate Period 8 (FY 2025–26): a 4.753% increase to residential collection rates and a 2.722% increase to commercial rates. Including the town’s administrative fee, the total proposed annual residential parcel charge is $515.28 — $42.94 per month — to be collected as a parcel charge on the secured property tax roll for most parcels. Staff said the town mailed required notice to property owners at least 45 days before the hearing and had received one written protest as of the hearing.
