The City of Margate recently implemented enhancements to our Utility Billing Online Portal to improve the customer service experience. Should you encounter any issues, or if you would like to learn more about managing your account in this enhanced system, we also have a customer help manual available.

Pay Automatically Every Month with a Check or Credit Card

You can now make payments automatically each month using your credit card or bank account, with no transaction fee using our new Bill2Pay Payment Portal. There is no longer a separate form needed to enroll in our free bank drafting service, just visit the new Bill2Pay Payment Portal and sign up right from our convenient online system.

Make a One-Time Payment from a Checking Account or Other Payment Method

To make a one-time payment on your utility bill, visit https://margate.prod.bill2pay.com/ and click on ‘make a one-time payment’. Enter your account information, choose your preferred payment option between checking account, credit card and other methods, and then complete the transaction.
