City of Tigard Now Offers Online Utility Bill Payment
The City of Tigard is now offering their water, sewer, and storm water customers the ability to pay
their bills using a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) over the Web! Customers can now review their
account information and pay their bills online thanks to a new web secured UBPayments service
being offered by the City. The service, which is free to use, lets customers view their account
history, billing information, and water consumption history 24 hours a day using the Internet.
Customers can also have the option of being notified by e-mail when they get a new bill. Craig
Prosser, City of Tigard Finance Director, said "This new service allows our customers to access their
account day or night and reduce the number of checks they write." Prosser also noted that
"customers have been requesting web payment for some time. We're glad to now be able to offer
this convenience for those customers that want to use it."
To sign up for access to your utility account online, go to the City of Tigard's website at

the customer will use to access their utility account.
