Residential Tax Exemption: The State of Florida does not charge sales tax for residential household use. By signing this residential application, I declare that the use of electricity is exclusively for residential use. If my usage changes, I understand it is my responsibility to notify CHELCO.
Request for Credit Inquiry: As Choctawhatchee Electric Cooperative, Inc. (“CHELCO”) requires a credit check before waiving security deposits, the undersigned consents and authorizes CHELCO to obtain a consumer credit report on the undersigned for such purpose.
Operation Round Up: The Operation Round Up program serves our local communities by donating to charities and nonprofit organizations through member participation of rounding their bill up to the next dollar. Those extra cents each month (an average of $6 per year) funds Operation Round Up. You are automatically enrolled unless you opt out of the program. Our member service representative can provide you with additional information.
Special Needs Registry: CHELCO cannot guarantee uninterrupted service nor can we assign a priority status to individual residential accounts, including for members who have electric-powered medical devices. The State of Florida offers a voluntary Florida Special Needs Registry. This registry informs first responders of special medical needs if an evacuation is warranted.
