Can you explain my bill charges?
I am a Landlord. Why can't my Tenant have their own account?
Bellevue Utilities bills the address where service is received, so property owners are always responsible for all utility charges at the service address.
I am a Property Manager. Does Bellevue Utilities work with property managers or other third-party entities?
Yes. Bellevue Utilities works with owner-approved entities, such as property managers, escrow agents etc.
I am a Landlord. Can my Tenant(s) receive the bill?
Bellevue Utilities does not bill tenants directly. If you are a property owner, you are the responsible party. Upon request, a copy of the bill can be sent to the tenant at the service address.
I am a Tenant. Am I eligible for Utility Bill Assistance?
Yes. Tenants may apply for Utility Bill Assistance using your qualifying information. Additional information is available at BellevueWa.gov/utility-bill-assistance.
What are my payment options?
There are multiple ways to pay your bill, including paying it online. View the five ways to pay your bill.
Why is there a service fee when using a bank card and how can I avoid paying a fee?
Paying by card can be convenient, but that convenience comes at a price. Credit card fees can be costly and, as stewards of our customers’ dollars, we are continuously looking for ways to save money. We have implemented a fee to credit card users to help recoup the cost of credit card transactions. We encourage utility customers to choose a payment option other than bank cards to avoid paying additional fees.
Can I make payment arrangements?
Yes. To make payment arrangements, call Customer Service at 425-452-6973. Additionally, if you need assistance with paying your bill, learn more about Utility Bill Assistance at BellevueWa.gov/utility-bill-assistance.

When can I view my bill online?
How often will I receive a bill?
Bellevue Utilities bills every two months for drinking water, wastewater, and storm and surface water services. The city contracts with Republic Services for garbage, recycling, and food and yard waste services; this is billed directly by Republic Services.
Can I change my billing date?
No. Meters are read on a specified schedule that does not allow us to change the billing date.
Why did I get a bill when I did not use any water?
Your utility bill consists of flat rate charges and consumption charges. Flat rates are charged as long as your property is connected to the city water/sewer system regardless of usage.
