When compliance monitoring notices are sent out, the homeowner's response is due within thirty (30) days. The City will review the information the homeowner submits and will contact the homeowner if any additional information is needed.

A link to the form will be sent to you via email or letter if there is no email on field.  The insurance request forms can be accessed at the links below.

2. The Browse Window will automatically appear.
3. DOUBLE CLICK on your file, or, CLICK once on your file and CLICK the "OPEN" button.

Substitution of other documents in place of the requested information will not be accepted.

The City allows program participants to have roommates; however, the property needs to be the primary residence of the homeowner. Some situations may required additional discussion with City staff.

You must contact your utility providers to acquire copies of your bills to submit to the City.
