Customers should enroll through the City Notify Me account for due-date reminders and use Municipal Online Services or 1-833-875-2386 to submit payments.

The City’s disclaimer says the fee applies to credit-card and bank-draft online payments, and the payment page identifies the same fee for the IVR.
