 A new transportation fee appears on Bend utility bills starting this month. Everyone's now charged with a new bill of $5.60 per month for their home. That helps for infrastructure. That's Brian Fratzke with Fratzke Commercial Real Estate. He says it's just one of several new or higher fees imposed by local governments. Bend City Council approved and staff implemented system development charge increases. Those are the fees that we pay when we go build a property for roads, water, and sewer.
