I pay my bills online through my bank, is that an instant payment?

The City is not affiliated with any online payment methods except through our own online payment site. These services will take the funds from your bank account, cut a check and mail it to the City on your behalf. It may take a week or more before the check arrives at City Hall (despite any date they say the payment will arrive), so please allow a week to 10 days for the process to complete. And remember if the check doesn't arrive by the 10th of the month a 10% penalty will apply to your bill and you will still owe that late fee. Please continue to use other online bill payment methods, but remember to pay it early ! We do offer an automatic draft service from your checking or savings account. This would deduct from your bank account on the 5th of the month. You can print a form here.  If you want to set up automatic drafts using a credit/debit card, please go to the City's online payment site.
