Online Payment Portal

The City of Madison moved to a new Municipal Services payment portal in 2022. To protect your banking information, existing accounts prior to 2022 were not moved to the new portal. If you would like to use e-billing, set up auto-pay, or get high water use notifications, you'll need to create a new account and re-sign up for these features.

All online payments need to be made through the online payment portal. To register, you will need:

1. An email address.
2. Your Municipal Service Account Number. This number has not changed.
3. Your new Customer Number. This number is a "1", followed by your old customer number.

Register for an account

City of Madison residents can also continue to pay municipal service bills by mail and in-person.
