Sausalito Marin City Sanitary District

Highlights

A Simpler Sewer Bill: Two Line Items, Now One

For many years, the City of Sausalito owned their sewer collection system, including pipelines and pump stations, while SMCSD was responsible for sewer conveyance and treatment. As a result, City property tax bills included two separate sewer service charge line items. In 2025, the City transferred its sewer collection system to SMCSD. The District is now responsible for sewer collection, conveyance, and treatment throughout the City and unincorporated areas within its boundaries.

One change you will notice: City ratepayers’ property tax bills will now show one consolidated sewer service charge from SMCSD, rather than two separate sewer-related line items. Click here for More Rate Information.
