Payment research for this provider
The compiled notes distinguish confirmed channels from details the public material did not expose. Fields containing only an unavailable-information marker are grouped in the research record below.
- Payment platform
- OnlineBiller (the City’s official utility-billing page links customers to onlinebiller.com/gilroy for statements, one-time payments, and AutoPay)
- Phone payment number
- (408) 846-0420; the City lists this Finance/Utility Billing number for phone payment and customer service. The accessible page does not publish a separate automated-payment number or prompt sequence.
- Mail-in payment address
- CITY OF GILROY – Utility Billing, P.O. Box 888842, Los Angeles, CA 90088-8842. The City advises customers using bank bill pay to include the utility account number to avoid delays.
- In-person payment
- The Finance Department is at 7351 Rosanna Street, Gilroy, CA 95020. Public counter hours are Monday–Thursday 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; Friday is by phone/email only. The City’s current materials identify Finance/Utility Billing as the in-person contact and state that cash or check payments can be made without a processor fee. A utility-bill payment drop box at City Hall is monitored daily; online payment instructions allow two business days for processing. The accessible page does not list outside retail payment locations.
- Digital payment methods
- OnlineBiller supports credit-card payments and ACH bank-account payments, with the same sign-on usable for multiple accounts. AutoPay may use credit card or e-check/ACH and processes on the 15th of each month. The City’s public pages do not list specific card brands beyond the online-payment materials’ Visa imagery and do not publish PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, or text-to-pay.
- Online convenience fees
- The City FAQ publishes a 2.9% processor fee for credit-card transactions and a fixed $1.00 fee for every e-check/ACH transaction. AutoPay uses the fee applicable to the selected credit-card or e-check/ACH method. The merchant processor retains the fees; the City says it retains no portion. Cash and check payments can continue without a payment-processing fee.
