A friendly reminder that businesses and residents will see a new fee on monthly City of Bend utility bills for a Transportation Utility Fee (TUF). This new fee will be assessed on both residential and commercial utility accounts as a mechanism to pay for street operations and maintenance. 

Residential customers can expect to pay $5.60/month for a single-family home, while multi-family dwellings will pay $4.15 per unit.

Commercial customers will be assessed based on footprint (square foot) of the business in year one, with further refinement of the fee in future years.

More information about the TUF can be found at the City’s website: https://www.bendoregon.gov/services/utility-billing/rates-and-charges/transportation-fee
