- The invoice can be delivered to the City of Brandon Civic Services Building at 900 Richmond Avenue East. The Civic Services Building is open Monday to Friday 8:00 am – 4:30 pm. The office is open during the lunch hour.
- Once the roto-rooting invoice is processed, city staff from the Sewer and Water department will look at the property to determine if they are eligible for reimbursement and what percentage of reimbursement the homeowner may receive. The reimbursement depends not on if roots are found, but whether there are trees on city property and/or private property.
