Wireless internet service provided by Cox Cable (300 Mbps download, 30 Mbps upload) is available in the conference room and other common areas; basic wireless internet service may be provided in some smaller offices for an additional fee. A refundable security deposit equal to one month’s rent is required at time of lease signing. The city and county assess a 3.1% tax on rents. Tenants must also contract separately for a liability insurance policy which shall remain in effect throughout the term of the lease. This typically runs around $35 per month on a smaller space.
