Payment channels

Pay City of Laredo Utilities Department

Use the provider’s verified online, telephone, mail, or counter instructions. Check the final confirmation screen for the amount, processing date, and any transaction fee before submitting.

Primary online route

Use the official payment portal

The direct portal is the fastest route when it is available. The provider identifies its payment gateway as Click2Gov Utility Billing by CentralSquare/Aptean Government Solutions branding; the City links customers to the Click2Gov portal and its error page identifies CentralSquare support.. Never enter account credentials into a lookalike site reached through an unsolicited message.

Telephone payment

Phone IVR

(956) 721-2032. The City's payment page directs customers to this automated phone-payment line, where the account number and a Visa, Mastercard, or American Express card are required.

Have your account number and payment instrument ready. Follow the provider’s recorded prompts and retain the confirmation number.

Alternative channels

Mail, text, and in-person payment instructions

Pay by text

A dedicated this detail was not publicly posted. The current City of Laredo Utilities payment page documents online Click2Gov access, a mobile app, phone payments, bank draft, kiosks, drive-through, participating pay stations, and mail, but does not publish an SMS short code, text keyword, or text-to-pay enrollment sequence.

Mail-in address

City of Laredo, P.O. Box 6548, Laredo, TX 78042. The official payment instructions accept checks or money orders only, require the account number on the payment and correspondence, advise allowing approximately seven business days for mailing and posting, and state not to send cash.

Counters, drop boxes, and office hours

The principal Utilities Customer Service Center is City Hall Annex, 1102 Bob Bullock Loop, Laredo, TX 78043, with customer-service hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; the north-side drive-through is at the same address. The City also lists 24-hour, seven-day kiosks at City Hall, 1110 Houston Street; City Hall Annex, 1102 Bob Bullock Loop; Municipal Court, 4610 Maher Avenue; and Fire Station 8, 616 East Del Mar Boulevard. Kiosks accept utility bills paid by credit/debit card, check, or cash; cash machines accept bills only and do not give change, and card payments incur the published convenience fee. Participating in-person pay stations may charge a convenience fee, while the City's Downtown City Hall and City Hall Annex are identified as exceptions; the public page does not publish a complete current merchant list or separate counter hours beyond the 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. weekday schedule.

Accepted digital instruments

What you can use online

Click2Gov and the City of Laredo Utilities mobile app accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express debit or credit cards. The City also offers free automatic bank draft/electronic funds transfer, debited on the monthly due date, and card payments by telephone. The current official page does not promise ACH e-check as a separate one-time portal instrument and does not advertise Apple Pay or Google Pay.

2026 transaction pricing

Convenience fees

$2.75 per online credit/debit-card transaction. The same $2.75 charge applies to the phone-payment service and to credit/debit-card payments at the listed kiosks; the City's bank-draft service is described as free. The published card fee is a flat fee rather than a percentage surcharge.

Fees can vary by payment type, channel, account class, and processor terms. The checkout screen is the final fee disclosure.

Payment guidance

Choose the payment channel that fits your deadline

The safest payment path is the one published by City of Laredo Utilities Department and matched to the account information on your bill. Online portals are convenient, but telephone, mail, counter, and drop-box options may follow different posting schedules and may use different fees.

For a routine payment, save the final confirmation page or IVR number and check when the transaction will post. For a same-day shut-off notice, do not assume that submitting a card payment automatically stops a field order; ask the provider what amount and confirmation are required.

Never send your account number, password, card details, or bank information to Water Ledger. Those details belong only on the provider’s verified payment channel or at an authorized counter.
