If you are a landlord/property owner you can add a tenant or agent to receive utility bills. 

If you subscribe to electronic billing, changes to your utility account may affect how you receive your electronic bill. 

Consult with your lawyer about obtaining a Tax and Utility Certificate; a certificate will provide: 

• current status of the property taxes and/or utility account 
• any upcoming property tax due dates or utility bill due date 

If you are a new property owner and not aware of any upcoming utility bill due dates, penalty and interest is still applicable when payment is received late. 

Update the ownership information for a Utility account by submitting a a copy of the deed. 

Once your ownership information has been updated, you will start receiving your utility bills and will include an Ownership Change Fee.
