Bill-Pay Information
Utilities is preparing to launch a new version of our online bill pay platform, MyUtilityBill.
The new system will offer improved features and ease in paying bills. Customers will use the same website address to access MyUtilityBill, but will need to re-register accounts to process payments.
We anticipate this upgrade will be effective in early fall. More information on what to expect and how to register on the new site is coming soon.
The City of Bellevue bills every other month for drinking water, wastewater (sewer) and storm and surface water. If you have questions about your Utilities bill, please call 425-452-6973.
For garbage/recycling/food and yard issues and billing, please contact Republic Services, the city's contractor, at 425-452-4762 (residential) or 425-646-2492 (commercial).

Online Bank Payments/Bill Payer Payments
If you pay your bill using your financial institution's online service or another online payment provider, you must select “Bellevue, City of” as the payee and enter all 16 digits from your bill into the account field, in format XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX (customer number – account number). This will ensure quick crediting of your payment. In some instances your financial institution may send us a payment by mail. In these instances a delay of five to seven days may occur in the processing of your payment.
COVID-19 Utility Bill Support
We know COVID-19 has brought financial impact to some of our customers. Utilities will work with customers having difficulty paying their utility bill to set up payment plans or access available emergency financial assistance. During this time, customers will not be assessed additional fees or charges for past-due payments. (For accounting purposes, late payment fees will be recorded, then removed from your bill). Water shut-offs for non-payment continue to be suspended.
To request a payment plan for your water, sewer and drainage bill, contact 425-452-6973 or utilities@bellevuewa.gov.
UTILITIES EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Customers facing job or income loss who do not qualify for Rate Relief programs may be eligible for the Emergency Assistance Program. This can cover up to four months of basic water, sewer and drainage service charges for customers who meet the program’s low-income qualifications for the past 30 days and do not receive other Utilities financial assistance.
To learn more about the Emergency Assistance Program, please contact 425-452-5285 or email UtilityRelief@bellevuewa.gov.
