Utility Billing
As part of the City's commitment to oversight, an independent review of the water/sewer metering and billing process was conducted in 2019. The review found no systemic issues within the current processes. You can view the full report here.
Need Help Paying Your Utilities?
Starting March 1, 2026, only property owners can establish new utility billing accounts in the City of Fort Lauderdale.
Only accounts established after March 1, 2026, are impacted by this new ordinance; current tenant accounts remain unchanged unless service is disconnected. If service is disconnected, it can only be reestablished by the property owner. Once accounts are established by property owners, tenants can receive bills “in care of” the property owner.
