NOTE: SCA Fees are the Responsibility of the Property Owner, not a Renter.
Renters may pay through agreement with their landlord but the owner, not the renter, is responsible to cover fees.  Exceptions to this policy are mailboxes, pledges, mulch, straw bales, and RO water which the renter pays for.  For more information, please contact the SCA Office Manager and Bookkeeper at 815-256-2200, e-mail: sca@stelle.net.

Vacant Lot Fee ………………………………………………………………..$25.00 (Month)
This fee is paid by those who own a lot but have yet to build upon it.

Items and quantities on accounts vary due to Landlord/Renter agreements, number of water meters, and building vs. vacant lot.
