Property Management Tools

If you own or manage a rental property, you can manage your water and electricity services all in one place with TPU’s Property Manager website.

Property Manager Portal

To request access to the Property Manager website, download, print, and complete the Property Manager Access Agreement. To submit it to us, please scan and email it to cservice@cityoftacoma.org or mail it to:

Property Manager Access Team
Tacoma Public Utilities
3628 S. 35th St.
Tacoma, WA 98409

Once your eligibility is confirmed, you will receive an email with instructions for using the website.

To register for the Property Manager website, you must first have an active Landlord Service Continuation Agreement (LSCA) with us. This ensures utility services remain active and billed to the owner while the property or rental unit is vacant.

As part of the agreement, you or your agent agrees to notify us when occupancy changes in a unit and before the sale of a property listed in an LSCA agreement.

The Portal allows Property Owners or designated agents to:

  • Access current tenant names and move-in dates
  • View pending move-in and move-out activity
  • Complete move-in and move-out requests
  • View account summaries by unit addresses, including owner balances
  • View pending service order information

This website does not provide financial information about your tenants; only the details listed above.

If you live within the City of Tacoma, your bill also includes fees for Environmental Services (solid waste, recycling, wastewater, and surface water). TPU does not manage these services, but we do consolidate the separate charges into one utility bill for your convenience.

You can’t manage these services through the Property Manager website, so please contact the City of Tacoma with questions about solid waste, recycling, wastewater, and surface water.

If you have questions about the Property Manager website, please contact our Business Solutions Office at 253-502-8606 or email cservice@cityoftacoma.org.
