Credits
Non-single family residential property owners can apply for credits to reduce the amount of their bill. These credits are based on the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual. For a listing and description of the credits and application forms, please see the City of Cartersville Stormwater Utility Service Charge Credit Technical Manual. Credits will not be automatic. You will have to apply.
The credits are for activities that improve water quality or reduce the cost to the City by providing stormwater detention, flood control, and erosion control. The following is a brief list:
| Green Space/Water Quality Credit | 15% |
| Channel Protection Credit | 15% |
| Overbank Flood Protection Credit | 15% |
| Extreme Flood Protection Credit | 15% |
There is also a 50% credit for educational institutions that include water quality education in their curriculum.
This is only available to schools that teach grades 1 - 12.
