Online Bill Pay

The Easiest Way to Pay Your City Bill
Our new online bill payment option saves you time and gives you more flexibility in how you pay your utility bill.

If you have an Internet connection and an e-mail address, you can pay your bill online. It's fast, it's easy, and you no longer have to write a check each month or find a stamp when it's time to send in your payment.

How It Works
We have partnered with Xpress Bill Pay, the premier provider for online bill payment systems.

When you sign up for online bill payment, you get a unique password that you use to access your personal account. Every month we'll send you a reminder e-mail to let you know when your bill is online.

Then, just log in through your Web browser and view your bill, which will look like the paper statement you're familiar with. Select a payment type— credit card or debit card — enter the information, and you're done!

It's that easy, and it only takes you a few minutes each month.

How to Sign Up
If you're ready to get started with the convenience of online bill payment, here's what to do:

•  Go to the City of Cedar Hills Web site home page.
•  Click on “Xpress Bill Pay” in the blue box on the right-hand side of the page. This takes you to the Xpress Bill Pay off-site link.
•  Click on “create a free account.” If you've already signed up, you can log in with your e-mail address and password.
•  Follow the instructions on the screen. (If you choose to use the auto pay option, select a payment date between the tenth and the first of the following month.) You will need a valid e-mail address to create an account. Once you've submitted your information, you will receive a default password by e-mail.

Once you've created an account, you'll be able to go online at any time to view and pay your bills.
