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
- Bill2Pay
- Phone payment number
- 954-543-4153, the City-published pay-by-phone number; Customer Service is 954-884-3666. The public contact page identifies the payment number but does not describe its hours or menu steps.
- Pay-by-text
- The Bill2Pay portal can send email or text alerts when a bill is available, a payment is processed, or a balance is due without a pending payment. The City does not publish a text-to-pay keyword or short-code enrollment sequence; customers enroll in alerts inside Bill2Pay after registering the utility account.
- Mail-in payment address
- Water Billing Division, P.O. Box 30318, Tampa, FL 33630-3318. The City’s Water Billing pages publish this lockbox mailing address for utility payments and customer correspondence; include the account number and use the bill’s remittance instructions.
- In-person payment
- Water Billing Division, 901 NW 66th Avenue, Margate, FL 33063. The division is open Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., with a payment window from 8:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.; it is closed on holidays. Walk-in payment is listed at this address. The City’s payment system processes cash, credit cards, lockbox payments, Fiserv, and Amscot channels; customers should confirm current counter acceptance and any instrument-specific rules.
- Digital payment methods
- Bill2Pay supports one-time and recurring payments using checking account/ACH, credit card, and other methods displayed in the portal. The City specifically advertises free monthly automatic payments by credit card or bank account, and the legacy payment guidance identifies credit-card payments and bank drafting. Wallets and specific card brands are not enumerated on the current Margate payment page.
- Online convenience fees
- No transaction fee for automatic monthly payment through the new Bill2Pay portal, whether the customer uses a credit card or bank account. The current public page does not state a separate one-time online convenience fee; confirm the checkout display for any card/e-check processing charge.
