Comanche County, Oklahoma
Renting in Lawton
Lawton is home to Fort Sill and Cameron University, next to the Wichita Mountains. Here's how to set up utilities and where to find schools, parks and services.
Utilities
In every MJASOK home, you pay all utilities and put them in your name before move-in. Most homes have gas; each home's page says which providers it uses.
Water, sewer and weekly trash (one city bill)
City of Lawton Utility Services
Bring your lease, a photo ID and proof of your Social Security number to 212 SW 9th Street, or apply online. Deposit starts at $150. Accounts opened by 4 pm are usually connected the same day.
Electricity

A deposit may be required if PSO can't verify your credit.
