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
- 15 days after the billing date. Bills are due and payable when rendered and become delinquent if unpaid within 15 days after the billing date.
- Late-fee rules
- The current 2026 City Code sets the monthly delinquency charge at 5% of the delinquent balance, with a $5 minimum. The code also authorizes annual index-based rate adjustments effective on or after October 1 and a possible mandatory water-restriction surcharge when a governing water-management authority declares a shortage.
- Shut-off timeline
- The account is delinquent after day 15. The current public billing page and City Code specify the delinquency trigger and late fee but do not publish a universal calendar day for physical shutoff after delinquency; customers should expect additional notice and should contact Customer Care immediately to request payment help or an arrangement before field disconnection.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Palm Bay’s public pages do not publish a single universal notice sequence, door-hanger policy, or legally fixed day count for nonpayment termination. The account holder should monitor the bill’s urgent messages, use InvoiceCloud reminders and pay-by-text if enrolled, and contact Utilities Customer Care at 321-952-3420 when a payment problem occurs. Notices and due dates can vary by billing cycle and account status.
- Reconnection costs
- The public Palm Bay billing pages do not expose a universal 2026 standard-hours versus after-hours nonpayment reconnection amount. Customers should obtain the account-specific restoration quote from Utilities Customer Care; unrelated routine turn-on/turn-off or meter/service charges may also apply.
