So the state owns the water that falls on my property? Excellent, looks like the County owes me $990.00 for charging me $45.00 per year for surface water management to deal with the rainwater that may or may not leave my property. When I first moved in this house and noticed the charge on my tax bill I questioned it and was told that it is too cover the handling of rainwater that falls on my roof and goes down the downspout and then may or may not flow across my yard and then enter the ditch out front along the County road. Which can't happen since the downspouts are lower then the ditch elevation. Looks like the County better start charging the rainwater owner which appears to be the state.
