Utility Bill FAQs

Would you like to pay the same amount each month on your City of Longmont utility bill?

To sign up for budget billing, you must have lived at your current address for at least six months and have no past due balances. Call Utility Billing Customer Service at (303) 651-8664 between 8 am and 5 pm Monday through Friday.

There is an easy way to pay your City of Longmont utility bill without ever writing a check, buying postage stamps, or driving to the nearest utility payment drop box. You can have your utility bill payment withdrawn automatically from your checking or savings account each month using our Automated Payment System. And, it’s free of charge! With our Automated Payment System, your utility bill is always paid on time. Your bill, reflecting the amount of the payment to be withdrawn from your checking or savings account, is mailed to you in advance of the actual funds transfer. This gives you plenty of time to balance your checkbook or raise any concerns prior to payment.

To set up automated payment, create an online utility payment account at MyUtilityAccount.longmontcolorado.gov, select the Bills and Payment tab and then choose “Autopay” and follow the directions.

The owner of the property, rather than the realtor or title company, must call the City to disconnect utilities. Allow at least 24 hours for this to be completed.

New residents, or residents moving to new premises, will be charged based upon either the city-wide, single-family residential winter quarter average (5,500 gallons) or their monthly usage, whichever is lower, until they establish their own winter quarter average (WQA) history.
