Transfer of Ownership

When representing a seller (vendor), lawyers should:

  • Fill out the Moving Form (see above) and submit it to our office to final utility account.
  • Ensure the City receives a final water meter reading from the seller or request a drive by water meter reading on the date of possession. Final utility bills are issued within two weeks of the date of possession.

When representing a buyer (purchaser), lawyers should:

  • Fill out the Moving Form (see above) and submit it to our office to final utility account.
  • Ensure the City receives the new owner information.
  • Ensure the City is provided with the first initial water meter reading or book a drive by reading.

Lawyers that represent either/both parties can contact the City of Selkirk Utility Clerk directly during regular business hours. To obtain additional information about the vendor’s account we will respond to the following questions if a tax certificate has been ordered:

  • Is the vendor’s account finalized?
  • Is the final water bill based on an actual water meter reading?
  • What was the final water meter reading?
  • Is the vendor’s final water bill paid in full?
  • Can I receive a copy of the final water bill to submit payment?
