Bills, Delinquent Dates, Extensions, Deposits and Returned Payments
Bill timing
Sebring FAQ says utility bills are mailed on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Friday of each month depending on cycle.
Delinquent date
Bills are due when rendered and become delinquent when the balance is not paid within 20 days following the bill date.
Extension rule
With good payment history and sufficient deposit, an extension may be granted, but the account holder must sign the extension log in the office before scheduled turnoff.
Billing topic |
Sebring rule / detail |
What to do next |
|---|---|---|
Bill due date |
All utility bills are due when rendered. |
Do not wait for a separate reminder before planning payment. |
Delinquent date |
Late fees are applied when the balance is not paid within 20 days following the bill date. |
Check bill date, not only the day you received the mail. |
Nonpayment process |
Sebring says it does not turn off for nonpayment of current bills; when the next bill goes out, the past-due balance must be paid in full or payment arrangements made within the stated period to avoid interruption. |
Call before the past-due period ends. |
Payment extension |
Possible if the customer has good payment history and sufficient deposit on file. |
Named account holder should go to the office and sign the extension log before scheduled turnoff. |
Social Security timing |
If a customer relies solely on Social Security income and receives it on the 1st, the City may note the account so late fees are not applied on the scheduled delinquent date. |
Bring a copy of the Social Security statement; this does not protect against nonpayment disconnection before the next bill. |
Owner residential deposit |
$100 each service. |
Ask whether both water and sewer deposits apply to your service. |
Tenant/renter residential deposit |
$150 each service. |
Bring legal ID and application documents before start date. |
Commercial deposit |
Regular commercial deposit is three times the highest estimated monthly bill. |
Ask for the estimate before opening the account. |
Negative credit / repeated delinquency |
Deposit can be two times the minimum required deposit or three times the highest monthly bill in the previous 12 months, whichever is greater. |
Ask Customer Service Supervisor what deposit applies. |
Returned check |
Returned-check fees are listed as $25 up to $50, $30 up to $300, $40 up to $800, and 5% for checks over $800. |
Call 863-471-5112 immediately if you know a payment will be returned. |

2026 Rate and Fee Notes: What Sebring Publishes Clearly
Rates are account-specific
Sebring’s public FAQ explains several billing rules, but a full 2026 water/sewer rate table was not clearly visible on the indexed utility pages reviewed.
Gallons billing
City meters measure usage in gallons, and bills are based on the number of gallons used during the billing period.
Inside vs. outside city
Sebring FAQ says outside-city customers pay higher monthly rates because of the added cost of outlying service.
Fee / rate topic |
Published Sebring detail |
Customer action |
|---|---|---|
Residential owner deposit |
$100 each service. |
Ask whether “each service” means water and sewer for your address. |
Residential tenant/renter deposit |
$150 each service. |
Bring legal ID and signed application requirements. |
Commercial deposit |
Three times the highest estimated monthly bill. |
Ask for the estimate before service start. |
Disconnect / reconnect for seasonal absence |
FAQ describes a $40 charge each time for disconnecting and reconnecting service while away. |
Compare the trip charges with monthly base charges before choosing this option. |
Seasonal / vacation rate |
No established vacationer rate, but when less than 1,000 gallons is used in a monthly billing period, only the water base rate is charged and the residential sewer charge is reduced to $2.49 inside limits and $3.11 outside, excluding named special customer groups. |
Ask the office if your account qualifies before relying on this rule. |
Prorated base rate |
If service is established in the middle of a billing period, monthly base rate is prorated by days of service. |
Ask the office to show the day-count math on your first bill. |
Meter tampering |
FAQ lists a $112.35 meter tampering fee, plus costs for locks broken/removed; water is not restored until fees are paid. |
Do not touch the meter lock; call the office for shutoff/turn-on help. |
Utility tax |
Sebring FAQ says tax charged on City utility accounts is a utility tax and not a sales tax. |
Sales-tax exemption does not automatically remove this utility tax. |
Solid waste on tax roll |
FAQ states $190 per residential unit is charged on the annual tax roll for improved properties within city limits. |
Do not confuse annual tax-roll solid waste charge with monthly metered water use. |
Full current 2026 water/sewer rate |
Not clearly posted in a complete table on the indexed pages reviewed. |
Call 863-471-5112 and ask for the current rate for your exact account type, meter, inside/outside-city status and sewer status. |
Do not invent rates: Because Sebring’s indexed utility pages show deposits, billing rules and several special fees more clearly than a full 2026 rate schedule, this article should tell readers to verify exact current water/sewer rate math with the Utilities office before estimating a bill.
High Bill, Meter Reading, Leak Indicator and Meter Test
1. Turn water off
Make sure no water is being used inside or outside the house.
2. Watch the meter
If the leak indicator or meter is moving while all taps are off, a leak is likely.
3. Use the house shutoff
If the indicator stops after the house valve is shut, the leak is likely inside; if it keeps moving, it may be between meter and house.
4. Call or repair
Call customer service for meter location help or call a plumber if you cannot locate the leak.
High-bill clue |
What Sebring says / practical check |
What to do next |
|---|---|---|
Meter turns while all water is off |
The City says chances are there is a leak somewhere. |
Use the house shutoff test to separate inside vs. outside leak. |
Leak indicator keeps moving after house valve is shut |
Leak may be outside between the meter and the house. |
Call a plumber if you cannot locate it; document date and photos. |
Leak indicator stops after house valve is shut |
Leak is likely inside the house. |
Check toilets, faucets, water heater, softener, irrigation and under sinks. |
Toilet leak |
Sebring leak page says toilet leaks can waste hundreds of gallons and are often silent, commonly from a bad flapper. |
Use dye test, replace flapper/fill valve, keep receipt. |
Faucet leak |
Leak page says leaking faucets are generally caused by a worn rubber washer. |
Repair promptly and document. |
Underground leak |
Look for yard areas that stay wet, water flow near driveway/curb/street, puddles that do not dry or dark spots on concrete. |
Call plumber or utility depending side of meter. |
Meter reading concern |
City meters measure gallons; meter readers usually read the thousands-of-gallons digits. |
Compare your meter reading with the monthly bill reading. |
Meter accuracy dispute |
Upon customer request, the City will test the meter. If accurate within 1%, the testing fee is retained; if not accurate within 1%, the fee is returned and appropriate prior-error bill adjustments are made. |
Ask the office what the current test fee and process are before requesting the test. |
Meter box leak |
Sebring FAQ says the connection from meter to home is customer responsibility; City side of meter is City responsibility. |
Call 863-471-5112 if you need help deciding who is responsible. |
Bill looks wrong |
FAQ says to contact the department if you feel the bill is incorrect. |
Call immediately, before delinquent date or shutoff process gets worse. |
Backbilling, Refunds and Billing Errors
Under-billing
Sebring says under-billed accounts are corrected and back-billed for the correct amount, but not beyond 12 months.
Over-billing
Over-billed accounts are credited for over-billed amounts within the past 12 months.
Payment arrangement
If back-billing exceeds the customer’s current ability to pay, an arrangement may be approved by the Customer Service Supervisor.
Error situation |
Sebring policy detail |
Customer step |
|---|---|---|

Case-by-case error review |
City considers cause of error, correction cost, customer knowledge/intent, payment history, longevity, ability to pay and other circumstances. |
Provide proof and a clear explanation early. |
Possible waiver |
Full or partial back-billing may be waived at the discretion of the Utilities Director or Customer Service Supervisor if in the best interest of the City and customer. |
Ask respectfully for review; do not assume waiver is automatic. |
Paper-trail tip: For billing errors, save bill copies, meter photos, portal screenshots, payment confirmations, repair receipts and names/dates of every office conversation.
Water Quality, Discolored Water and Water Reports
Annual reports
The City’s Water Quality page links annual Consumer Confidence / Water Quality Reports, with 2024 shown as the latest listed report on the reviewed page.
Discolored water
Sebring FAQ says discolored water is rare but can originate in the distribution system or private plumbing.
Main breaks and hydrants
Main breaks, dead-end mains, fires, hydrant use and construction activities can stir sediment and cause temporary dirty water.
Water-quality issue |
Likely cause / official context |
What to report |
|---|---|---|
Discolored water at all taps |
Possible distribution-system disturbance, main break, hydrant flow or construction. |
Call with address, color, start time, whether neighbors are affected and whether cold water/all taps are affected. |
Discolored water at one fixture |
May be private plumbing, fixture, water heater or interior pipe issue. |
Tell the office it is one fixture only and consider plumber/water-heater check. |
Milky/cloudy water |
Can be air in the line after work or pressure change. |
Report if it persists, smells unusual, has particles or affects neighbors. |
Particles from hot water only |
Often water-heater related. |
