BUSINESS & DOG LICENSE REMINDER: All dog and
business licenses expired on Dec. 31st. Home business
licenses are $10. Other business licenses are $20. Dog
licenses are $15 per year.
It is important to license your dog so that if someone
finds it we can contact you from the tag information.
OVERNIGHT PARKING & SNOW REMOVAL: Reminder of our snow ordinance – no parking on city streets from 12:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. December 1st through March 1st. We also ask if it snows during the day and plows are out, to move vehicles off the street. The city only plows when we receive 3 inches or more of snow, because of the cost which is roughly $1500.00 each time. This covers wages, fuel, cutting edges and equipment maintenance. Keep cars uncovered from snow and parked back off of roads and please pull into driveways further to stay clear of the snowplows. The city will not be clearing driveways to avoid damaging property in the process. We cannot assume liability for any damage that occurs.
**SEWER AND WATER EMERGENCIES** We would like to remind all residents that in case of an emergency such as a water leak or sewer issue that happens after hours or on weekend, you can call city hall and there is an emergency option that will transfer you to our public works director. The sooner you call the better to avoid more complications.
GO PAPERLESS WITH E-BILLING! We really appreciate all of those who have signed up for e-billing. We would like to encourage our citizens to sign up. If you are interested, go to www.paymentservicenetwork.com and register as a first time user. You may opt out of paper bills there. If you go paperless, you will be sent an email each month telling you that your bill is ready to view at this website. You can view the newsletter here or at sugarcityiodaho.gov.
