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
- City of Georgetown Customer Self-Service (CSS); vendor not named on the customer-facing payment page
- Phone payment number
- 1-855-347-0509, automated payment system available 24/7. Customers need the account number; agents cannot accept payments by phone.
- Pay-by-text
- The City’s CSS account tools include Sign Up for Pay-by-Text. A customer registers or signs in at css.georgetowntexas.gov, adds or verifies the utility account and contact information, and uses the portal’s pay-by-text enrollment option. The current public help articles confirm the feature but do not publish a separate SMS keyword, short code, message frequency, or a text-payment-card entry sequence; those implementation details should be shown by the portal during enrollment.
- Mail-in payment address
- City of Georgetown utility payments are mailed to PO Box 200662, Dallas, TX 75320-0662. This is the City’s current payment-processing address, distinct from the Georgetown Customer Care office. Customers should use the account number and payment stub and allow carrier/processor time for delivery.
- In-person payment
- In-office payments are accepted at 300 Industrial Ave., Building 1, Georgetown, TX 78626, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Accepted desk instruments are cash, credit/debit card (American Express is not accepted), money orders, and checks. The drive-through drop box is at 300 Industrial Ave., Building 1, Drive-Thru Lane 2; no cash may be placed in the box, and payments are processed during regular business hours. Checks are not accepted after nonpayment disconnection or on accounts with an NSF history. Large multiple commercial payments are directed to the Dallas processor.
- Digital payment methods
- The current City payment guide lists e-check; credit/debit card except American Express; PayPal; Venmo; Amazon Pay; Google Pay; Walmart Pay; and Apple Pay. Customers can use QuickPay without signing in or the CSS portal for registered payments, wallet management, paperless billing, service requests, and usage data. Bank bill-pay is also supported, with typical bank processing of one to three business days. The City’s current payment guide does not disclose card-brand-specific online convenience charges.
