The Role of Municipalities (Belediye)

Unlike electricity, which is centralized, water supply in Northern Cyprus is managed by local authorities. Registration is done at the specific municipality (in Turkish — Belediye) to which your property territorially belongs. Each district has its own administrative rules and rates.

Registration, Deposits, and Monthly Bills

To transfer a utility account to your name and start using services, you must visit the municipal office and register as the new owner. The procedure includes:

• Submitting an application and a package of property documents.
• Paying mandatory deposits (security amount) and connection fees.

After registration, you will start receiving monthly invoices. It is important to know that the “water bill” in Northern Cyprus is a unified utility payment that also includes:

• Waste collection fees.
• Street cleaning and lighting charges.
• Other municipal administrative expenses.

Note: The annual property tax is also paid at the municipal office, and its calculation is often linked to the water supply system.
