Budget Billing
Budget billing is available through the City of Marceline.  You have had to live in the same location for 12 months or longer.  The contract will need to be turned in before you can sign up.  The contract will need to be signed off on every 12 months unless you wish to discontinue.  Remember, budget billing does not lower your utility bill.  It does provide a method to better budget your utility expenses. 

 

Yard & Garge Sale Permits

A garage sale permit application needs to be filled out, copied and approved at Marceline City Hall.  Citizens are allowed up to four (4) garage sales within a year.  Each garage sale permit is good for only three (3) days. Permit needs to be posted on the premises during the time of sale visible to the public.  City garage sales do not apply for obtaining a permit.
