MO HB794

Repeals and replaces section 204.700 of Missouri law regarding storm water management fees for residential properties within districts created under Article VI, Section 30 of the Missouri Constitution.

Prohibits assessment of storm water management fees on residential property owners when the district does not directly provide sanitary sewer services and storm water runoff does not flow to or is not conveyed to a district-maintained sewer.

Defines storm water runoff as flowing to a district sewer only if a pipe or improved waterway (surfaced/partially surfaced with impervious material) exists within 50 feet of the property line in the direction of drainage flow.

Establishes that drainage flow conveyed from the property line to a pipe or improved waterway via an improved surface (street, sidewalk, curb and gutter, or concrete swale) qualifies as being conveyed to a district sewer.
