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
- Tyler Technologies Municipal Online Services
- Phone payment number
- The current online portal does not publish a current IVR number. An official City welcome packet lists 1-888-291-1859 and 469-309-4170 for telephone card payments, but the current portal states that American Express is no longer accepted effective November 1, 2025. Confirm current payment capability with Utility Billing at 469-309-4170.
- Pay-by-text
- No current City page or billing portal instruction publishes a text-to-pay enrollment keyword, short code, or opt-in workflow. Do not confuse general outage or notification messaging with bill-payment enrollment; customers should use the current Tyler portal or call Utility Billing.
- Mail-in payment address
- P.O. Box 39, Waxahachie, TX 75168. The current Utility Billing office is listed at 412 S Rogers Street, Suite 110, Waxahachie, TX 75165; use the P.O. Box for mailed checks or money orders unless the City provides a newer remittance address.
- In-person payment
- The current Utility Billing contact is 412 S Rogers Street, Suite 110, Waxahachie, TX 75165. The official City welcome packet describes the customer-service counter at City Hall, 401 S Rogers Street, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; a drive-through at the south end of City Hall Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and a 24-hour south-end drop box for checks or money orders only. Because the current page and older packet show different street numbers, customers should confirm the active counter location before visiting. Desk payments historically accepted cash, check, money order, and cards; current portal restrictions supersede older American Express information.
- Digital payment methods
- The current Tyler portal displays Visa, Mastercard, and Discover card payments plus checking-account/e-check payments. The portal announcement says American Express is not accepted effective November 1, 2025, and Apple Pay is not supported; customers must use an accepted card or checking account.
- Online convenience fees
- The City announced a 3.95% processing fee on all credit-card payments effective November 1, 2025, including AutoPay. The current portal does not publish a separate checking-account/e-check fee, so that amount is not publicly documented pending confirmation in the payment flow.
