Utility Conveyance

On July 13, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners approved Ordinance No. 2021-24(PDF, 8MB) to amend Utility Ordinance 2004-31 in order simplify the Utility Acceptance requirements and utility conveyance process from the two-step process, Preliminary and Final Acceptance, into a one-step acceptance process. Ordinance 2021-24 became effective on July 20, 2021.

The most significant changes include:

  • All utility acceptance projects are now following the one-step process. Upon completion of the Utility Conveyance Checklist requirements, staff will schedule the project for final utility acceptance by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
  • Applicants are no longer required to obtain the One-Step Conveyance Utility Deviation approval from Public Utilities
  • The final acceptance obligations cash bond of $4,000 is no longer required
  • For commercial and multi-family residential projects, the 10% Utility Performance Security (UPS) is only required for projects with Contributory Assets of $100,000 or higher. Staff will automatically schedule the UPS for Board release after the one-year warranty period expires. The one-year warranty period starts on the date of Final Utility Acceptance by the BCC
  • Final Attorney's Affidavit is required prior to scheduling the project for Final Acceptance
  • All templates, including the Utility Conveyance Checklist, legal documents, cost sheets, etc. have been updated and they are available on the Collier County website
