The City of Raleigh offers convenient methods for making your utility payment.

AutoPay (Recurring Bank Draft)

Our AutoPay option is reliable, convenient, and worry-free. Each month on the due date shown on your bill, your utility payment will be automatically drafted from the checking or savings account of your choice.

AutoPay Advantages:

  • Easy to manage
  • Payments are always on time - even if you are on vacation or out of town
  • Worry-free
  • Saves time
  • No service disruptions due to late payments
  • Free - no additional processing costs to you
  • No check fees, credit card interest, postage costs
  • Convenient

To get started, simply complete and submit an online Bank Draft Authorization form. AutoPay will take effect on your first billing after submitting the authorization form.

It is the customer's responsibility to ensure all information provided on the Bank Draft Authorization form is accurate (especially the Routing/Transit Number and the Bank Account Number), and there are sufficient funds in the bank account. Otherwise, your utility bill cannot be paid using this method.

Pay Online (Visa or MasterCard)

We accept MasterCard and Visa payments through the Utility Billing online system.
