Provider-specific findings
Delinquency research for this provider
The notes below may document a rule or explain a specific public-information limit. Any active notice and direct provider confirmation remain controlling.
- Grace period
- 20 days after the billing date; late penalties are applied three days after the due date.
- Late-fee rules
- Late penalties of 5% per outstanding line item are applied three days after the due date. A returned payment can generate a statutory returned-item fee, and after the County is notified of a returned payment service is subject to disconnection five days later, or immediately for some reconnection or repeated-return circumstances.
- Shut-off timeline
- Bills are due when rendered, become past due 20 days after billing, and receive a 5% line-item penalty three days after the due date. If payment is still not posted five days after the due date, an Urgent Notice is mailed; customers receiving one must call 941-764-4300. Returned payments can place service at risk five days after notice, and the account is subject to the County credit-and-collections process.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The County mails an Urgent Notice when payment has not posted five days after the due date. The notice requires the customer to speak to a representative so payment is credited and service is not disrupted; no colored-mailer, door-hanger, or automated-call sequence was identified.
