Utility Billing
Utility bills are rendered every month and represent approximately 30 days of service. There are two basic classes of service: commercial and residential. The following services are billed on the City of Carrollton utility bill:

  • Water
    • Water meters are read each month
    • The water billed represents the water usage since the last meter reading - the prior month
    • Water is billed in thousand gallon increments
    • For current water and wastewater rates, click here.

  • Wastewater
    • Wastewater billed is the average of the water consumption during the months of January, February and March
    • The average is billed each month from the April bill through the March bill the following year.
    • For example: If the water usage at your residence is:
      • January = 10 T gal
      • February = 10 T gal
      • March = 13 T gal
      • Total 33 T gal / 3 months = 11 T gal average
      • The wastewater billed for the next year from April through March would be 11 T gal per month.

  • Solid Waste (Residential / Commercial 95-Gallon Cart Only / Apartment)
    For information on solid waste services, click here.

  • Fees
    The fee for late payment of bills was approved by the City Council and was established to encourage prompt payment and to help defray the cost of field trips to the premise. 
    • Bills paid each month, by the due date, will not incur a late fee. 
    • If a customer is in a temporary financial bind and needs more time to pay, a pay agreement may be arranged. As long as the terms of the pay agreement are met, the customer is not charged a late fee. 
    • Also, if a customer pays the past due amount of a two-month bill by the due date on the bill, a late fee will not be charged. 
    • Customers with a past-due bill that is not paid by the due date on the bill will be charged a late fee of $25.  Customers have the option to pay at City Hall between 7:30AM – 5:30PM Monday through Thursday and 7:30AM – 11:30AM Friday.  Other options available are by phone, at the drive-through kiosk located at City Hall or at any Fidelity Express location.  Payments made at any of these locations must be paid and posted by 11:59PM on the due date.  Payments made after midnight are considered the next business day and the late fee will be assessed.
    • If a bill is not paid within 10 days of the due date, the account will be subject to interruption and full payment of all outstanding charges and an interruption day fee of $25 will be required to restore service.

Carrollton Offers Residents Extended Payment Plans on Utility Bills

 

Carrollton, Texas – The City of Carrollton is now offering extended payment plans for residents who have fallen behind on their utility bill payments due to financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Since March, the City has suspended utility bill late fees and disconnection of services. With the start of the new utility billing cycle on Friday, July 24, Carrollton Utility Customer Service will resume late fees and timely payments will be required as usual. Though Carrollton is returning to these standard billing procedures, the City understands that many in our community have faced unprecedented financial challenges, and is therefore providing an opportunity for extended payment plans, in addition to the previously offered 10-day payment plan. 

To request a payment plan, the account holder or authorized party may call 972-466-3120. Callers are asked to have the following information available to expedite the process: 
      • Account number
      • Account holder’s name
      • Service address
      • Last four digits of account holder’s social security number or driver license/state ID number
 
Once the extended payment plan is in place, the overdue balance must be paid in full by the end of the 45th day, or an additional late fee will be assessed to the account. 
 
The City’s partner, Metrocrest Services, also offers payment assistance to residents unable to pay their utility bills. To request aid, Carrollton residential customers must complete an application and provide Metrocrest Services with proof of residency and hardship, both of which can be satisfied with a past due utility bill. To learn more or to apply for assistance, call 972-446-2100 or visit metrocrestservices.org/client_forms.
