Transfer of Service for Title Companies

To transfer service on a City of Lakewood water, sewer, or stormwater utility account, the title company should fill out and email the below form, 48 hours prior to the closing date. A final bill will be ordered for the property which will reflect the amount to collect and prorate between the buyer and seller at the time of closing. After you complete the form below, you will receive verification of services provided and by which utility company. 

ATTENTION: Title Companies – It is critical that you notify us immediately of ALL transfer cancellations.

When you do not notify us, it causes issues with our billing system. Please help us to keep our system current by using the link included in the email verification you receive after you complete the form below. We appreciate your support!

**Please note we do not provide statuses.**

The City of Lakewood water, sewer, and stormwater utilities are subject to lien against the properties, if utilities remain unpaid. Liens are filed once a year with the Jefferson County Assessor's Office and are attached to the property taxes as a special assessment. Balances are tied to the properties. If a transfer of title is completed, utilities are typically collected after receiving final bills by the title companies, who then collect at the time of closing.
