Port St. Lucie Utility Billing and Submetering
for Mobile Home Parks
We are often able to dramatically increase utility costs recovery for mobile home parks without asking the park to make a substantial upfront investment. We have been able to do this by providing meter reading services, connecting to existing remote read systems and implementing RUBS billings solution for individual residences or entire parks that do not have meters.
We can also adjust how we provide our billing services, which utilities we bill for and any other monthly charges the park would like us to bill for. We can help with almost any scenario, and we can do all of this for parks with as few as 50 residences.

Utility Submetering Laws and Regulations in Florida
*Where individual metering is not required and master metering is used in lieu thereof, reasonable apportionment methods, including submetering may be used by the customer of record or the owner of such facility solely for the purpose of allocating the cost of the electricity billed by the utility. The term “cost” as used herein means only those charges specifically authorized by the electric utility’s tariff, including but not limited to the customer, energy, demand, fuel, conservation, capacity and environmental charges made by the electric utility plus applicable taxes and fees to the customer of record responsible for the master meter payments.
The term “cost” does not include late payment charges, returned check charges, the cost of the customer-owned distribution system behind the master meter, the customer of record’s cost of billing the individual units, and other such costs. Any fees or charges collected by a customer of record for electricity billed to the customer’s account by the utility, whether based on the use of submetering or any other allocation method, shall be determined in a manner which reimburses the customer of record for no more than the customer’s actual cost of electricity.
Each utility shall develop a standard policy governing the provisions of submetering as provided for herein. Such policy shall be filed by each utility as part of its tariffs. The policy shall have uniform application and shall be nondiscriminatory (Fla. Administrative Code §25-6.049).
