Security Deposit Refund

Security deposits for utilities customers with the City of Plantation are refunded once the City no longer furnishes service to the customer or 5 years from the date the deposit is received, provided that during the 20-year period no customer defaults have occurred. When an account is closed, the deposit is applied to the final balance and the difference is refunded. If money is owed to the City after the deposit has been applied, a bill will be sent to the customer.
