Before you start the application, please note:
New Residential Service Applications require:
- Verify you are within our service area by looking up your street here. (COMING SOON)
- Completed Utility Application (Download, Save & Email to ub@granbury.org). A fillable PDF is available if the browser has PDF plugin.
- Applicants & Co-Applicants need to upload a photo of driver’s license.
- A required deposit* of $300.00 or a letter of credit** must accompany the application. If no deposit is acquired you will be billed for the deposit.
- Per ordinance, tenants are required to show a lease (or application for lease) with all the occupants listed, length of the lease, and address with unit number.
Utility Billing Customer Service Account Specialist’s goal is to process all complete applications within 2 working days. (Complete are those with the application, letter of credit** and copy of driver’s license.) We will make every attempt to contact you if your application is for any reason incomplete or a deposit* is still required within 2 working days of submission.
Should service need to be established before an Account Specialist has contacted you, or if you have not been contacted within 2 working days we encourage you to make contact with Utility Billing at 817-573-1114.
New Service Applications that are not completed or no deposit has been paid are kept on file for only 10 working days from date of submission. Should the customer not fulfill the application requirements within 10 days, the application will need to be re-submitted.
*Deposits: A deposit is required to establish service. All residential accounts have a flat $300 requirement. Deposit can be paid by cash, money order, check credit/debit card.
