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. The City’s utility payment instructions refer to the monthly utility bill, and TAPP drafts the full bill 15 days from the billed date.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block conservation rate structure. Effective October 1, 2025, single-family residential water includes a $2.54 customer-service/billing charge, $12.57 service-availability charge for all meter sizes, and commodity tiers of $2.27 per thousand gallons for 0–3,000 gallons, $3.67 for 3,001–6,000, $6.25 for 6,001–12,000, and $9.09 above 12,000. Single-family wastewater includes a $2.54 billing charge, $16.64 availability charge, and $4.91 per thousand gallons capped at 12,000 gallons.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $72.99 per month for a single-family residential account using 5,000 gallons, before garbage, stormwater, taxes, or other non-water charges: water is about $29.26 ($2.54 + $12.57 + 3,000 gallons at $2.27 plus 2,000 at $3.67), and wastewater is about $43.73 ($2.54 + $16.64 + 5,000 gallons at $4.91).
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Single-family wastewater is calculated from a $2.54 customer-service/billing charge, a $16.64 service-availability charge, and $4.91 per thousand gallons for 0–12,000 gallons, with the commodity component capped at 12,000 gallons. Multi-family service uses a per-unit structure and a 10,000-gallon cap per unit. The public schedule does not describe a winter-average formula.
- Meter reading
- Tamarac bills monthly and the Click2Gov registration instructions require the account number plus cycle and route information from the bill. The public pages do not identify the meter fleet technology, AMI/AMR vendor, or transmission frequency. The City’s utility pages emphasize account-cycle billing and customer leak checks rather than hourly consumption telemetry.
- New-account deposit
- A water deposit is required for both owners and tenants, and Tamarac’s new-service page says the amount depends on the meter size; customers must call 954-597-3590 for the exact current amount. The City’s FAQ publicly identifies a $105 deposit in its utility-account guidance, but the meter-dependent application controls the final amount. Upon permanent disconnection, the deposit is refunded after deducting all amounts owed; the deposit does not prevent nonpayment disconnection.
- Activation or transfer fee
- New service requires the appropriate request form, a warranty deed or HUD/settlement statement for an owner, a lease for a tenant, government-issued identification, and the meter-dependent water deposit. The City does not publish a universal current activation or transfer fee on the public new-service page; customers should confirm charges and meter-read/service-order requirements at 954-597-3590.
