Caution! Paying Water Bill with DOXO

It has been brought to the City’s attention that some water customers are using an online account organization service called DOXO to pay their water bills. Please know that the City of Margate has NOT contracted with this company to accept payments, and payments made to this company are not being forwarded to the City in a timely manner - if at all.

Also, Vice Mayor Tommy Ruzzano’s name and email address are listed on the DOXO site. Please know that he is NOT AFFILIATED with this site, nor did he approve the use of his name on the site.

For your convenience, City of Margate utility customers may conveniently pay their water bill online (no fees added) at margatefl.com, in person at City Hall (5790 Margate Boulevard) or at any Amscot location (in cash only and a $2 service fee will be charged per transaction), or by using the Night Drop Box located in the City Hall parking lot.
