The City of Melissa accepts Cash, Check, Money Order, and Credit Card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover).

Mail your payment to:
City of Melissa
Bank Lock Box

P.O. Box 3689

Bank Draft/ACH 

To set up Automated Clearing House (ACH) auto-draft payment, a voided check and a Bank Draft Authorization Form must be provided to the City of Melissa Utility Billing Office via email, mail, or in person. 

Online Bill Pay

Payments can be made through your bank institution online but please allow 7-10 business days for payment processing. Payments must be applied to water accounts to avoid late penalties or cutoffs for non-payment. If payment is not applied when the bill is due, late fees are applied, even if money is deducted from the account. The key is to ensure that payments are applied to water accounts before the due date. 

Curbside After-Hours 

There is also a curbside after hours drop box located on the east side of the City of Melissa City Hall. Payments received through the curbside drop box at City Hall can take up to one business day to process.

If payments are placed in the drop box after 4:00 pm on the due date, the payment will be considered late and subject to the 10% late fee. Please do not put cash in the drop box.
