Estoppel Processing FAQs
After we receive the estoppel amount am I done with the City?
No. It is important to help the seller and buyer by providing additional information to the City.
On the closing date, have the estoppel amount collected (from the seller) and have the application for service (by the buyer).
On the day of closing or promptly thereafter, send the estoppel payment, with the application for service and the closing statement together to the City of Naples, 735 Eighth Street South, Naples, Florida 34102.

Why do I need to complete an estoppel form?
An unpaid utility bill is considered a lien. In order to know if a lien exists, an estoppel should be performed. In order to transfer the utility account into the buyer/new owner’s name without any service interruption, we have to have an Application for Services, the closing document, and a zero balance on the seller’s account (estoppel paid). Additional fees for services continue to be billed to the seller until the account transfer is completed.
