Paying your utility bill to the City of Buford just got a whole lot easier thanks to their new online bill pay system! As a resident of Buford, I used to dread getting my water and sewer bill in the mail each month. I’d have to write a check, put it in an envelope, add a stamp, and drop it in the mailbox. And I’d always worry that it might get lost or arrive late.
But now paying my bill takes just a few clicks on my phone or laptop thanks to the City of Buford’s website. In this article, I’ll walk you through just how quick and easy it is to pay your City of Buford utility bill online
How to Access the Online Payment System
To start, go to the City of Buford’s main website at www.cityofbufordcom Click on the “Online Payments” link at the top of the homepage. This will take you to the online payment portal.
You can also get to the payment page directly by going to https://www.cityofbuford.com/OnlinePayments.aspx.
The City of Buford partnered with a company called Paymentus to power their online bill pay system. They handle the payments, while the City gets instant notification when you pay your bill.
Payment Options Accepted
The online system accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and electronic check payments. So you should have no problem paying with whatever method you prefer.
They do charge a service fee of $2.75 per transaction for payments up to $400. And additional fees apply for payments over $400. But in my opinion, the convenience is well worth the small fee!
How to Pay Your Bill Step-By-Step
Here is a simple step-by-step walkthrough on how to pay your City of Buford bill online:
-
Go to www.cityofbuford.com/OnlinePayments.aspx and click on “Pay Online.”
-
Enter your utility account number and the phone number or email on file with your account.
-
Select whether you want to make a one-time payment or set up recurring payments.
-
Enter your payment details including the credit/debit card or bank account you want to use.
-
Review the payment info and click “Continue” to process the payment.
-
Finally, record your confirmation number for reference.
And that’s it! The whole process takes just a couple of minutes. The City of Buford will receive instant notification of your payment and post it to your account the next business day.
Set Up Recurring Payments for Added Convenience
For maximum convenience, I recommend setting up recurring payments through the online bill pay system. That way your bill gets paid automatically each month without you having to do anything.
Just select the “Recurring Payments” option when you log in. Pick the date you want your bill paid each month and the payment method you prefer. The system will automatically charge your card or account on that same date every month going forward.
You can cancel or change your recurring payment at any time by logging back into your online account. But it’s so nice to just set it and forget it!
Paying Disconnected Service Accounts
If your utilities have been disconnected for any reason, you’ll need to take an extra step to get them turned back on. The online and phone payment systems can be used to pay a disconnected account and cover any late fees.
However, you’ll still need to call the City’s customer service line at 678-889-4600 during business hours to schedule reconnection. Simply paying the past due amount online does not automatically reconnect service after hours or on weekends.
So be sure to call as well if you need your utilities turned back on ASAP. The service representatives are very friendly and can get things back on quickly after receiving payment.
Pay by Phone Option Also Available
In addition to online payments, the City of Buford also offers a pay by phone option. Just call toll-free 1-866-955-0568 anytime 24/7 to pay your bill over the phone.
They accept checking/debit accounts and all major credit cards by phone. It’s super quick and easy if you don’t have computer access or prefer talking to someone directly.
Avoid Late Fees by Paying on Time
I recommend paying your bill online or by phone before the due date to avoid any late penalties. The online system does not actually monitor when your specific payment is made outside business hours.
So if you pay after 5:00pm on the due date, you may still get hit with a late fee. Spare yourself the hassle and just pay a few days early each month.
Convenient Payment Options for Buford Residents
Paying your bills doesn’t have to be a hassle thanks to the City of Buford’s online payment system. I absolutely love the convenience of paying my utility bill from home in just minutes. Plus setting up automatic recurring payments gives me real peace of mind knowing it’s always paid on time.
Our city leaders have really embraced technology to make our lives a little easier as Buford residents. So give the new online and phone payment options a try next time your City of Buford utility bill comes due! It’s the quickest and easiest way to pay.
