San Diego Sewer and Garbage Costs When Analyzing a Deal

[Trevor J.]

Hey San Diego investors,

When analyzing your deals for purchasing rental properties or properties to house hack, what are the norms for sewer and garbage costs that an owner should expect to pay? Are these statistics published anywhere? Do they vary by town? By property type? By neighborhood? Etc...

Any tips would be appreciated - just trying to find some more direction to get accurate numbers in my analyses.

Thanks,

Trev

If you can possibly get through their hold line, the water dept will share the specific info for the property you're looking at. But on average in a City of San Diego multifamily, urban situation I would calculate $400/billing cycle ($200/month). If it's less, great. That's present day - may be different next year since they just rolled out the new rates last month.
