Money dates

  • Every monthCity utility bills are due on the 10th of each month; unpaid bills are delinquent and subject to a 10% penalty.

How these numbers are made
  • Property tax: Stanislaus County 2025-26 rate book, tax rate area 003-002 (the majority rate, 1.155618%; area 003-005 is 1.027018%). Applied to the Census median value, a market value; Prop 13 assessed values for long-time owners are lower.
  • Water: January 2026 step of the 2024 rate study schedule (the January 2025 step was adopted; I did not find the later steps' adoption record). Sewer: last adopted step in the 2017 study; a 2026 study with higher proposed rates goes to hearing Nov 10, 2026 (proposed March 1, 2027).
  • Garbage: maximum rate for a 90-gallon can effective July 1, 2026, adopted April 2026 (Resolution 2026-12); Bertolotti bills on the City utility bill.
  • Electricity: PG&E E-1 at baseline tiers using territory S quantities (Stanislaus County; summer 15.0 and winter 10.2 kWh a day, simple average 12.6) - the county-to-territory link comes from the sibling Modesto draft, not a PG&E document I could open. Lighting and landscaping district assessments (about $39 to $373 a year, by zone) apply only to some neighborhoods and are not included.
  • Sewer: the proposed 2026 amount was only in a non-official news summary (citizenportal.ai, 403 on fetch), so no figure is stated. Water: the January 2026 step is from the official 2024 rate study schedule; its adoption record was not found on cityofnewman.gov or by search.
  • Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.

Cities bill differently (some put trash on the tax bill, some cover more services), so a higher number isn't necessarily worse. The property tax rate is compared instead of dollars because house values differ.

Questions to ask your candidates

Each one starts from a number above. Any candidate can answer them.

1. Trash

The fact: Trash pickup here costs about $355 a year for the standard cart, lower than 221 of the other 267 California cities we cover. Where trash is billed through the tax bill or a separate hauler, it is not counted here.

Ask: "Trash pickup here costs about $355 a year for the standard cart, lower than 221 of the other 267 California cities we cover. What drives that cost, and would you change anything about the service or the price?"
