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
- No universal grace-period day count is published on the current payment page. Due dates vary by billing batch; during the 2026 CIS transition the City expressly states that no late fees are being charged, but that transition statement should not be treated as a permanent waiver.
- Late-fee rules
- The current City payment page says there are no late fees during the CIS transition period. The reviewed 2026 public pages do not expose a permanent percentage, fixed late charge or interest formula; account-specific delinquency amounts should be confirmed with Customer Service or Grace AI.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City does not publish a complete 2026 notice sequence, color-code or door-hanger protocol on its payment pages. Customers receive the bill and any delinquency communication associated with the account, while Grace AI can provide balance information and arrange a payment plan; customers should keep mailing, telephone and portal contact information current.
- Reconnection costs
- The most recent publicly reviewed City fee schedule identifies a nonpayment reconnection charge of $30 during regular workday hours before 5:00 p.m. and $50 after 5:00 p.m., on weekends or holidays. Because Kingsport is transitioning to a new CIS and the current payment page does not restate the charge, customers should verify the amount before paying to restore service.
