Utility Billing Service Forms

What is the Property Owner Application Form?

On February 16, 2021, the Moscow City Council adopted Resolution 2021-01 which approved a process change for establishing utility accounts with the City. To address non-payment of utilities and the associated impact on the cost of service for all users, a change in practice is required to include a more formal utility billing process between the City and its utility customers. This change applies to ALL City utility account holders. 

To comply with Resolution 2021-01, property owners must complete a Property Owner Application to request services for city utilities, which includes, but is not limited to, water, sewer, sanitation, stormwater and streetlights. This revised process provides clarity and efficiency as we work with property owners to avoid past due and unpaid bills. By implementing this revised billing practice with all property owners, the City will proactively address these unpaid balances and significantly reduce the impacts of unpaid bills on all customers. 

What if I rent my property?

A second form, the Property Owner Tenant Directive, is provided for property owners/managers who would like to have the City make payment arrangements directly with their tenants. This form provides permission for the City of Moscow to bill the tenant directly. A new Property Owner Tenant Directive is required for each new tenant.
