If you’re a homeowner and will be leasing your home to renters, the new tenant is required to submit the new renter’s deposit of $175. A deposit is required as we do not take social security numbers and we do not report to credit agencies. If the deposit does not cover the final statement and the tenant does not pay the final statement the debt does stay with the property. Landlords will be responsible for paying the outstanding debt or a lien may be placed on the account.

Under Colorado Statutes [32-1-1001(1)(j)/32-1-1006(1)(d)], any funds owed to a Special District constitutes a perpetual lien against the property. Further, a Special District, for any violation of its rules and regulations, may discontinue water and sanitation to the property and can provide for the connection with or disconnection from the District’s facilities.

If you are a landlord, management company, or new tenant and want to keep your water services active once the account was closed by the previous tenant, apply for the Automatic Revert.

Once an Automatic Revert Form is put on file for a property, the property will be attributed to the homeowner or company owner’s name when the previous tenant moves out. This form will stay on file until the house is sold, is no longer a tenant property, or the management company has changed. It is up to the homeowner and/or management company to keep Cherokee Metropolitan District up-to-date on the property address, phone number, email, and other details.

If you have multiple addresses, we will require a form to be filled out for each property and the current management agreement if you are using a Management Company. The form can be emailed to frontdesk@cherokeemetro.org, faxed to 719-597-5145, or it can be brought to the Main Office at 6250 Palmer Park Blvd. Colorado Springs, CO, 80915. If you have any questions about the Automatic Revert Form, please call the office at 719-597-5080 and our Customer Service representatives will be happy to assist you.
