If required, initial deposit is the greater of two times average monthly consumption for the premise or the standard minimum (Electric $200; Water and Sewer $100; Water only $50; Sewer only $75; Irrigation or Reclaimed Irrigation only $50). Any deposit requirement is billed to the account and appears on the next bill. Connection fee $10 per service type if ordered in advance or before noon for same-day; $25 after noon for same-day.

New service activation is available Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and holidays. Please allow at least 3 days for service to be activated. Online next-day requests must be submitted before 6:00 PM. Start date must occur within 30 days of the request.

Phone numbers

  • New service: 904-665-6000

Watch the edges

Duval County isn't all Jacksonville: Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, and Baldwin kept their own town governments, and utility service can differ there. Same goes once you cross into Clay, Nassau, or St. Johns County. Orange Park and Ponte Vedra addresses play by different rules.

  4. Arrange internet service. Order early if you need Wi‑Fi on day one in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville utility questions, answered

Can I choose my electricity provider in Jacksonville?

No. Florida is a regulated electricity market, so there's no shopping between competing plans the way you might in Texas or Ohio. In Jacksonville, that provider is JEA, the city's community-owned utility. It served electric at every address we sampled across Jacksonville. Your move-in task isn't comparing rates; it's starting service at your new address, and the lookup will confirm who serves it.

Does my Jacksonville home have natural gas?

Quite possibly not. Residential natural gas is uncommon across Florida, and plenty of Jacksonville homes are fully electric. Range, water heater, dryer, all of it. Gas availability here genuinely varies by address, and it's the one service we can't call in advance, so use the lookup. If your lease or listing mentions a gas range or gas water heater, confirm the account details with your landlord or agent before move-in day.

Do I set up water and sewer separately from electric in Jacksonville?

At almost every Jacksonville address, no. JEA handles electric, water, and sewer alike, so starting service is one conversation instead of three. That's unusual and genuinely convenient. One local tip while you're setting up: make sure you know how to report an outage to your utility. Hurricane season runs through the heart of summer and fall here, and the worst time to hunt for outage-reporting info is the night a storm knocks your power out.

Who is the electric company in Jacksonville?

JEA is Jacksonville's electric answer. It led 95% of the Jacksonville addresses we checked.

How do I set up all utilities for a Jacksonville address?

The fastest path: look up the address, then open accounts in the checklist order. Electric first when timing is tight.
