Monthly Fees & Billing & Payment Options

Cayucos Sanitary District is a not-for-profit government agency that provides sewer service to the community of Cayucos.  All parcels located within the Cayucos Sanitary District boundaries are charged an equitable, flat rate monthly fee to pay for the costs of constructing, operating and maintaining Cayucos's sewage infrastructure. Undeveloped, buildable lots are included in the monthly assessment of fees to pay for the expense of maintaining a sewer system available for vacant lots to connect to once they're developed.

Billing Cycle Structure
  • Monthly bills are calculated and distributed on the first of each month.
  • Payment is due and must be received no later than the last day of each month in order to be considered on time (postmarks are not considered).
  • All bills that are not paid on or before their due date are automatically assessed a 10% late fee, without exception, at 8:00am on the first day of the following month, and a late fee will appear on the billing statement.
  • Annually, delinquent customer accounts are reported to the SLO County Tax Collector's Office, who collects delinquencies on the District's behalf, assesses additional penalty fees, and places a lien against the property.
