to collect, on behalf of the City of Brentwood, an annual sewer lateral
fee in accord with Section 249.422, RSMo., 2016, in the amount of
fifty dollars ($50.00) on each residential property having six (6)
or fewer dwelling units to provide funds to pay the cost of repairs
of lateral sewer lines pursuant to the policy and program authorized
in this Article. The fee imposed pursuant to this Section shall be
imposed upon condominiums that have six (6) or less condominium units
per building and each condominium unit in such a configuration shall
be responsible for its proportionate share of any fee charged pursuant
to this Section, and in addition, any condominium unit shall, if determined
to be responsible for and served by its own individual lateral sewer
line, be treated as an individual residence regardless of the number
of units in the development. It shall be the responsibility of the
condominium owner or condominium association who are of the opinion
that they are not properly classified as provided in this Section
to notify the St. Louis County Department of Revenue to rectify the
situation.
