Renting out a home in Alamosa

Inside Alamosa city limits, one city office handles water, sewer and trash. That keeps things simple, but the City has its own rules on accounts and lawn watering. Here is what you should know as the owner of a rental there.

Water, sewer and trashCity of Alamosa

The City provides all three. Water and sewer service is only for properties inside city limits. Read the city utilities page.

Opening an accountIn person at City Hall

A new utility account starts with an application. You turn it in at City Hall, 300 Hunt Ave. The City asks for a deposit on new accounts.

Lawn wateringSet days and hours

Odd and even addresses water on different days, in the evening or morning only. No one waters on Mondays. The City starts with a warning on the door, and violations bring fines. See the city watering schedule.

Trash cartsKeep the City cart

Trash goes in the City cart. If a cart goes missing, the City adds a replacement fee to the utility bill. See the city trash page.

Electric, gas and propaneLease says who

Our Alamosa move-in page lists Xcel Energy for electric and natural gas, plus local propane suppliers for homes that use it. The lease spells out which accounts the tenant opens in their own name.

Your officeMain Street

Find us at 609 Main St, Alamosa, CO 81101. Our Contact page has the walk-in times and office hours.

Before you list an Alamosa home

Only City employees may turn the water on or off at the meter box, so any shutoff at the meter goes through the City. A home outside city limits cannot get City water or sewer. The City's water page also points to the East Alamosa Water and Sanitation District, a separate district. We sort out which one serves your address, and who waters the lawn, before a tenant signs.

What we handle for Alamosa owners

Listing

We post your rental on the big rental websites.

Applicant checks

Each application gets a background and money check.

Rent collection

Rent comes in through us and goes out to you by ACH.

Maintenance

We call local vendors and look over the finished job.

Home checks

Inspections on the schedule your plan sets.

Owner reports

Monthly numbers you can open in the Owner Portal.

Evictions

Done by the book when there is no other way.

Compliance

Colorado rental rules change. Staying current is our job.

For an Alamosa home, that also means getting the City utility accounts, the watering days and any propane service lined up before move-in day.

We only take long-term rentals, so no vacation or short-term rentals. There is no Eclipse repair crew either. Local independent vendors do the repairs, and our office coordinates them.
