The short answer

Blumenau's SAMAE now accepts water account-holder changes and other requests through its online service. The home still needs its own billing arrangement. Ask whether water is individual or shared, who holds electricity, and what the condominium passes through. Record the meters and charge allocation at handover. A provider's online form does not establish the home's consumption or complete setup cost.

  • SAMAE publishes online account-holder change requests.
  • Holder change, new connection and disconnection are different requests.
  • Ask what is individual and what the condominium shares.
  • Collect electricity details from the actual current bill.

Our take

Use the SAMAE request for the actual service

SAMAE's May 4, 2026 notice says its online service accepts new water connections, account-holder changes, hidden-leak bill recalculation and temporary or permanent disconnection. The expanded digital services began on March 23. Choose the request that matches the unit's situation.1

Ask SAMAE for the current channel, accepted foreign identification, lease or owner authorization and any missing documents. The notice does not publish a complete holder-change document checklist. Its reported historical average response is not a promised deadline for your request.1

Separate the home's charges

ABVALE's Centro ad prices electricity by consumption and condominium by a monthly rateio average. The Água Verde offer adds consumption to its approximate monthly condominium. Ask which water, gas or other components appear in the building bill and which provider accounts are separate.2,3

Get the current electricity bill, supplier, supply identifier, account holder and meter position from the actual unit. Ask the named provider about holder change and accepted documents. Confirm a disconnected supply separately from an ordinary holder change.2

Keep a dated handover record

  1. Collect the current bills

    Record the exact unit, provider, account holder and supply identifiers.

  2. Photograph the meters

    Keep dated readings and identify individual and shared equipment.

  3. Allocate the charges

    Write down consumption, condominium, tax, insurance, arrears and repair responsibilities.

  4. Keep the service references

    Retain each request, document correction and actual completion confirmation.

Ask about flood and connection arrangements

Ask the building manager how flooding affects account equipment, elevator operation, access and temporary shutdowns. Street thresholds and traffic closures belong to Civil Defense guidance, while the building confirms its own procedure.4,5

Home internet needs its own installation and contract check in remote work. Read rent, cost of living, safety and the moving checklist with the current bills.1,4,6
