Payment Options
Online Bill Payment
If you have your account number, you may make a payment via direct utility payment below, or call (760) 444-4167 to use the automated system that is available 24/7.
Direct Utility Payment
Make a direct payment by Electronic Check, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card. Your 12-digit account number is required and no enrollment is needed.
Automatic Payment Service
Tired of writing checks to pay your utility bill every month?
By enrolling in Automatic Payment Service, your regularly scheduled utility bill is automatically paid from your checking account by your bank on the day your payment is due…and it’s free! This gives you plenty of time to review your statement before it is paid in case you have any billing questions. One to six weeks after the City of Oceanside receives your completed application and voided check, Automatic Payment Service will take effect on your account. You’ll know it has started when you receive your first bill that states, “Automatic Payment Service – Do Not Pay”. This means no more writing a check or spending money on postage for your utility bill.
