Full Breakdown
Perris Municipal Code Section 7.16.050 requires every person who owns or occupies developed real property in the city to make appropriate arrangements for regular refuse collection. An occupant satisfies this duty if the property owner has already arranged service covering that occupant's portion of the property. The code is explicit both ways: no one may occupy or inhabit property in Perris for which regular refuse collection arrangements have not been made. The city or its contractor collects garbage, rubbish, and other solid municipal waste from every residence, dwelling, and place of business, billed at council-set monthly rates.
Violations & Fines
Unpaid accounts become delinquent after 90 days for residential customers and 30 days for commercial accounts, triggering penalties, interest charges, and possible placement of the debt as a lien on the property tax roll.
