For just $5 per parcel per year you are helping to protect clean water, support local farms, strengthen salmon populations and promote water conservation. This investment ensures sustainable revenue for locally driven conservation that will benefit the community for generations to come. It’s a small fee that brings a big impact!

To ensure stability and continue providing high-quality services to our community, CCD has adopted a system of Rates & Charges, authorized under RCW 89.08.405.

Every dollar collected through Rates & Charges stays local and supports conservation priorities of Clallam County.
