Utility costs in Florida vary by city and county due to different electric providers, municipal water and sewer rates, and trash fees. Electric is often the largest share of the bill; investor-owned utilities (e.g., FPL, Duke) have PSC-reported typical bills, while municipal and co-op rates differ by location.
We estimate four components: electric (based on typical or rate-based calculations), water (base + volumetric), sewer (flat, percent of water, or capacity/commodity), and trash (monthly fee). Each city page shows assumed usage (e.g., 1,000 kWh, 5,000 gal) so you can compare fairly.
Each city page links to official sources and shows last-verified dates. The Electric Providers page lists Florida electric providers and the cities they serve. Use the city search or county links to drill down to a specific area.
