Paying Bills

Payment of Fees and Bills

Bills for monthly charges and fees shall be mailed by the City to the consumer on the last regular business day of the month and are due upon receipt.

If the bill remains unpaid at the close of the City's business day on the 20th day of the month, the City shall charge a late penalty of fifteen dollars ($15.00) on the 21st day of the month. However, should the 20th day of the month fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday as defined in the Florida Statutes, Section 683.01, or any local holiday declared by the City then, in that event, the consumer shall have until the close of the City's next regular business day to pay the bill without a late penalty fee.
