Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
As of August 1, the city upgraded its utility billing system and changed its payment processing company (provider) to Paymentus®. Please find the most commonly asked questions and answers (FAQs).

Why did the city change its payment provider?
The city’s utility billing payment provider is one element of the city’s overall Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. The ERP is an integrated software package that includes utility billing and all other financial applications of the city, such as the general ledger, procurement, human resources, payroll, accounts payable, capital assets, cash receipting, and others. This software was no longer keeping up with the rapid technological changes and needed to be transitioned to a more advanced system.

The city hired an independent consultant to determine each department’s specific ERP needs, developed a solicitation for a new ERP provider, and helped evaluate the proposals. The city selected Tyler’s MUNIS program for its new ERP software, and the city’s new payment provider, Paymentus, is a partner of Tyler.

Does Paymentus charge a payment processing fee?
Paymentus does not charge a payment processing fee.

I’ve used Auto Pay for years in the prior system. Do I have to do anything?
Yes, you must register with our new payment provider, Paymentus. Due to the transition, customers must register with the new system to view or pay bills online*, and account numbers are required. If a customer signs up for Auto Pay, all outstanding charges will be applied to their credit card on their next billing cycle. [*registration is not required for one-time online payments]

How do I set up Auto Pay?

Do ALL customers have to register with Paymentus?
No, all customers do not have to register with Paymentus. Customers who would like to enroll in Auto Pay, view their bills online, pay bills online, or have their information stored to pay online would need to register. Registration is not required for one-time online payments or payments sent by mail.

Where is the graph (block chart & number of days) on the bill?
Many customers have inquired about bringing back elements of the bill that they found helpful. We thank customers for their feedback and are exploring redesigning the bills to include these important elements.
