Provider-specific findings

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
i-Doxs / secure8 hosted utility billing portal
Phone payment number
916-808-5454 is the City’s published utility customer-service and automated-payment number; the current customer page does not publish a separate branded IVR number.
Pay-by-text
The City’s current public payment pages do not publish a text-to-pay keyword, short code, or enrollment sequence. Customers can enroll and make payments through the authorized i-Doxs portal, the City Mobile Pay App, the automated phone system, or a customer-service representative. Treat unsolicited payment texts as suspicious and verify through the City’s official 916-808-5454 channel.
Mail-in payment address
City of Sacramento, Department of Utilities, 1395 35th Avenue, Sacramento, CA 95822. The City’s current payment page identifies this as the Department of Utilities mailing address and accepts check and money order as alternate payment methods; customers should follow the remittance instructions printed on the current bill for account-number handling.
In-person payment
The Department of Utilities customer-service location is 1395 35th Avenue, Sacramento, CA 95822. Published customer-service hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., and Friday, 8:00 a.m.–11:30 a.m., excluding holidays. The City says payments may be made with a customer-service representative and that the listed online, automated-phone, representative, mobile-app, check, money-order, cash, and home-bank-transfer methods carry no customer charge. The current page does not provide a complete separate list of cash counters, public drop boxes, or third-party payment locations; verify availability at 916-808-5454 before traveling.
Digital payment methods
The City publishes online payment through its authorized i-Doxs utility portal, the City Mobile Pay App, automated phone payment, payment with a customer-service representative, and bank transfer/home banking. The current customer page does not enumerate card-brand acceptance or mobile-wallet brands. Check, money order, cash, and home-bank transfer are identified as alternate methods; inaccurate bank information can cause a $25 returned-payment fee.
