20.90.700 - Definitions.¶
A.
"District" means the Lennox Garbage Disposal District.
B.
"Board" means the board of supervisors of the county of Los Angeles.
C.
"Parcel" of real property means a parcel of real property as shown on the local secured tax rolls of the county of Los Angeles.
(Ord. 2003-0041 § 1 (part), 2003.)
20.90.710 - Findings.¶
The district is authorized to regulate and provide for refuse, recyclable materials, and green waste collection and disposal services through exclusive or non-exclusive contracts or otherwise. The district is authorized to impose service fees for the collection and disposal of those materials. In order to avoid the substantial costs of establishing a billing system for the collection of fees, the board finds that the fees should be collected on the tax roll. The board also finds that it is reasonable and appropriate to calculate the service fees based upon the current property use classification derived from the assessor's tax rolls.
(Ord. 2003-0041 § 1 (part), 2003.)
20.90.720 - Service Fees.¶
A.
An annual garbage collection and disposal service fee is levied upon parcels of real property in the District for the services provided by the District.
B.
The amount of the fee for each parcel shall be computed by multiplying the refuse unit fee by the number of refuse unit(s) assigned to the property use classification of the parcel as shown in Table 1, codified in Section 20.90.740. The maximum refuse unit fee is set forth as follows:
$572 per unit for the 2025-26 fiscal year;
$601 per unit for the 2026-27 fiscal year;
$623 per unit for the 2027-28 fiscal year;
