- All landlords are required to complete an application for service per rental property.
- Any outstanding balances owed by the customer on closed accounts will be required to be paid prior to opening a new service address account.
- A $50 activation fee is required for all new accounts at time of opening for owners and renters. This fee is non-refundable.
- Renters: A $150 deposit is required for all renters. The deposit must be paid in-person at City Hall by cash, check, or money order before the application will be processed.
