Charlotte County has completed a review of their policies and procedures and have found that sending bills to tenants is no longer viable. Therefore, we will only be sending a copy of the bill to the owners of the CCU account. You may provide your tenants with the account number for the rental property for making payments. Payments can be made using the following:
Please advise your tenant if they would like a copy, they will need to go to our website to print a copy of the bill. It will not be in their name. They just need to enter the account number for the account. The website address is Electronic Bill Account Search | Charlotte County, FL (charlottecountyfl.gov).
Please call our office if you have any questions. Thank you.

As the weather starts to cool down (just a little) we notice our FPL bill rise. Here are a few ways to help curb the rise in your bill.
Check your window & door seals.
Take shorter, cooler showers.
Adjust the temp. in freezer and ref.- use energy star appliances.
Wash clothes in cold water / clean lint filter in dryer after each load.
Swap light bulbs for LED bulbs.
Watch time of use rates-cost of elect. is higher at peak times.
Change air filters frequently.
Unplug unused items – phantom or standby power can raise your bill.
Pool pumps run 6 hrs. per day in the summer and 4 hrs. per day in the winter.
Use a programmable thermostat and light timers.
Use ceiling fans to your advantage. Summer turn counterclockwise pushes air down creating a cool breeze and clockwise in the cooler months.
These are just a few ideas that might make the beginning of your holiday season a little brighter. Now how about a couple of easy to make recipes.
