Important Information For You

In order for City of Meridian to put the utility account in a tenant(s) name rather than the property owner, we will need to receive the following forms:

City Code for Third-Party Billing:

9-1-5: APPLICATION FOR WATER SUPPLY

After establishing an account for water service, a property owner
may direct that a third party, such as a property management company, or a tenant,
receive the billing for water, sewer, and solid waste collection services. The third-party to whom the billings are sent shall also execute such documentation as is necessary to confirm the billing information. In the event such an account becomes delinquent, the municipal billing department shall send a delinquency notice to the billing recipient, and the owner, at the addresses contained in the agreements. The city will charge a third-party billing account setup fee which must be paid at the time of the application. The fee will be set by resolution of the city council. The third-party billing agreement shall also provide that the property owner remains primarily responsible for charges assessed to the account, and further, that all unpaid charges constitute a lien against the real property. An owner may appoint an agent, to act for the owner, to establish an account, receive billings, or do anything else an owner may do, or be required to do, pursuant to this code.
