Buying An Older Home in DeKalb County? Old Toilets Will Mean No Water Service

If you plan on buying or selling one of the 165,000+ homes built before 1993 in DeKalb County, please be aware that starting this June buyers will be required to have proof of "low-flow" toilets before the county will hook up water service.

For sellers, having these fixtures already updated before placing your home on the market can be an excellent selling point that makes your home stand out.

To help homeowners meet this new mandate, DeKalb County is offering two rebate options. The first is a $50.00 rebate for the purchase of any approved 1.6 gallons per flush toilet on the list of eligible toilets. The second option is a $100.00 rebate for the purchase of any approved 1.28 gallons per flush toilet on the list of eligible toilets.
