Thank you for your interest in creating an online account! Please note that all new account requests submitted online will be set to a default ‘non-resident status’ until proof of City of Bakersfield residency has been received and verified. As a new online customer, you will be allowed to register as a non-resident and will be charged a non-resident fee. The non-resident fee is refundable upon proof of residency, which requires verifiable address status (i.e., driver’s license, utility bill). For more information feel free to contact our office at (661) 326-3866.
