The portal also includes Municipal Court. Choose Utility Billing so your payment goes to the water/wastewater/sanitation account.

Confirm the right account

Use the exact account number from the bill and confirm the service address. If you moved recently or live in a MUD/HOA area, call before paying.

Save proof

Keep the confirmation number, amount, date/time, account number, service address and card receipt. This is especially important if the due date is close.

Portal identity note: the Municipal Online Payments page displays a Tyler Technologies notice about a newer identity service and signing in with an existing username and password. Customers having login trouble should use the portal’s sign-in/register prompts or call Utility Billing.
