Application for Residential Service


Please read carefully

Athens Utilities is now using Adobe Sign to receive Residential Applications for Service.  Applications can now be filled out, signed, and submitted online.

Before you start to fill out the application please make sure you have the following to upload to the application.

  • An electronic copy of a government issued photo id
  • If you are renting, then you will need an electronic copy of your rental agreement.

Make sure the form is filled out completely before signing and submitting. Incomplete forms will have to be resubmitted.

If you are married:

If you are married, then both will need to fill out and submit a separate application if:

  • You want both names to appear on the utility account.
  • Both applicants will have to have a 700 or higher credit score to waive deposits

If you don’t desire for both names to be on the utility account, then only one application is needed for married couples.

If you are leasing:

If you are leasing, then all adults who are on the lease agreement will need to fill out and submit a separate application and all adults will have to have a 700 or higher credit score to waive deposits.

Once the application is signed and submitted a representative of Athens Utilities will contact you to confirm the application has been processed.
