Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Monthly; Tallahassee's published water, sewer, stormwater, budget-billing, and assistance programs are structured around monthly utility bills.
- Rate structure
- Monthly metered increasing-block water rates. For a 5/8-inch meter, the water customer charge is $10.81 and the minimum monthly water bill is $17.18 including 25 ccfal units (100 gallons each); usage is $0.25484 per ccf for the first 50 ccf, $0.35054 for 51-150 ccf, and $0.44068 above 150 ccf. Customers outside city limits pay a 50% water surcharge.
- Residential cost reference
- For a 5/8-inch in-city account using 5,000 gallons (50 ccf), the published water minimum is approximately $17.18 before sewer, stormwater, taxes, and other charges. The same bill includes a $25.26 sewer customer charge plus volume sewer charges, and a standard stormwater charge of $10.71, so the total depends on the account's sewerable consumption and service area.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Tallahassee charges a $25.26 monthly sewer customer charge and $0.80792 per ccf of metered sewer use. Residential sewer use is based on monthly metered water consumption up to a maximum; each April, the City calculates the maximum residential sewer charge from the highest water consumption among the four winter bills for December, January, February, and March, and that limit applies for the following 12 months.
- Meter reading
- The City sends customer alerts for continuous water use and provides usage monitoring, indicating digital/smart-meter leak detection capability. The reviewed pages did not identify the AMI vendor, exact transmission interval, or universal meter-read date.
