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.
- Shut-off timeline
- The current public pages do not provide a universal day-by-day cutoff timeline. Under the City Code, failure to promptly pay delinquent utility amounts can result in discontinuance of service, and delinquent amounts may constitute a lien against the property. The printed bill/termination notice and Utility Accounts staff determine the actual cutoff date.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City Code includes a $4.86 notification-of-service-termination charge, indicating that a termination notification is part of the delinquency process. The public pages do not specify whether the warning is delivered by postcard, phone, text, email, or door hanger, nor do they state a universal number of days before lock-off. Customers should contact Utility Accounts at (727) 893-7341 promptly to arrange payment.
- Reconnection costs
- FY2026 City charges include $30.34 to lock off for nonpayment and $30.34 to turn on after nonpayment. Ordinary turn-on/turn-off is also $30.34, and the code adds $24.28 to applicable after-hours charges. Reinstalling a meter on existing service is $394.49 plus any required deposit. A new account activation is $36.41 plus deposit.
