Section 52-14 (a) of the County Code states a fuel-energy tax is levied and imposed on every person transmitting, distributing, manufacturing, producing, or supplying electricity, gas, steam, coal, fuel oil, or liquefied petroleum gas in the County. A Fuel-Energy Tax Application form must be submitted to establish a fuel-energy tax account or public utility-fuel energy tax account. Please click on the link below for further information.

County Council by Resolution 16-1354, currently in effect, set the fuel/energy tax rates specified on Schedules A, B, and C. These rates are reflected on the tax return form for periods indicated on the tax forms. Fuel-energy tax returns are due in the office by the 15th of the month preceding the reporting period.
