Delinquent and unpaid utility bills are the responsibility of the current property owner. If a property changes ownership, the new property owner becomes responsible for any outstanding utility bill balance. Before purchasing a home in New Hope, the city encourages potential homeowners to make sure that all past due utility accounts are paid in full or that enough money has been set aside in escrow at closing to cover the final bill amount.
