Pay Your Bill Your Way
Warning: If you have received an urgent notice and are in imminent danger of having your services disconnected, we recommend you speak to a customer service agent when making your utility payment. Please call 941.764.4300 if this applies.
Please be aware of longer mail delivery times when sending your payment. To ensure your payment is received promptly, you can pay your bill in-person or at one of our drop box locations.
The Utilities Department offers several options to pay your water and/or wastewater utility bills. These are the only sanctioned vendors allowed to accept your payment. Other third-party websites may delay payment to us and potentially cause penalties and shutoffs.
Pay in-person
The Customer Support Center and the Charlotte County East Port Environmental Campus located at 25550 Harborview Rd. is currently closed. The drop box at the entry gate is still open.
You can pay your bill in person at the Customer Payment Center located at the Murdock Administration Center, 18500 Murdock Circle, B-109.
Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday (except holidays).
Pay online
Quick Pay Provided by Billtrust
You can make a one-time payment without enrolling in eBill using your Visa card, Master Card, Discover card, checking or savings account. Billtrust charges a convenience fee of $3.95 to use this service.
eBill Provided by Billtrust
You can enroll in eBill, an automated method of receiving and/or paying your bill online. Once enrolled, you may make one-time payments or set-up automatic payments via your checking or savings account. You may also use this option to receive and view your bill online without making a payment. This service is free of charge.
If you enroll in eBill, you will be able to view your bill upon login. You will receive your eBill with the next billing cycle and all paper bills will cease. If you wish to receive an electronic bill, but do not wish to pay on line, you need to enroll in eBill but not elect a payment method.
You can cancel and update your automatic payment by logging into the eBill service. Once you are logged in, select Setup and then Automatic Payments to make your changes. Please be advised that if you change your payment method in eBill you will also need to update the payment information for any future scheduled payments. Please contact the Utilities Department at 941.764.4300 for assistance.
Both of these services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Payments made through Billtrust will be identified on your Banking or Credit Card Statement as Charlotte Utility. Payments made online after 2 p.m. will not be posted until the next business day.
A convenience fee is charged in addition to the original bill amount for payments. The fee is paid directly to Billtrust to cover their costs to provide the services plus merchant fees. This fee is non-refundable. Charlotte County Utilities does not receive any portion of this fee.
Automated Pay by Phone
