AWC Tax and User Fee Survey

AWC’s Tax and User Fee Survey (TUFS) is a data-gathering and sharing project undertaken every two years. The survey covers municipal taxes and fees, planning and development fees, and utility rates.

Survey results are compiled and made available in the TUFS reporting dashboard (linked below) as an aid to benchmarking, policy discussions, and rate setting.
