With a 4-0 vote on June 24, Claremont City Council approved new fees for community development and recreation and human services, and a resolution to order liens on properties with delinquent sanitation accounts. The updated fees to the 2025-2026 comprehensive user fee schedule mean in addition to recent 3% increase in sanitation and sewer bills, customers will also see 3% increases to various community development, recreation, and human services fees.
