Payment by Mail
Included with your monthly City of Gastonia utility bill is a blue window envelope that you can use to mail your payment. Please tear off the lower bill stub portion of your bill to include with your payment and make sure the return address shows through the window on the envelope. It is also helpful to include your account number on your check or money order. In the event that you have lost your blue return envelope or do not have your bill with the remittance address, please send payments to the following address:

City of Gastonia
PO Box 580068
Charlotte NC 28258-0068

Automatic Bank Draft
Save time and money by participating in the City’s Automatic Bank Draft Program for your monthly utility bills.
 

No more writing a check each month, paying postage, or worrying about late fees or disconnection of your services. We will continue to send you a monthly utility bill showing your total current charges and the date this amount will be automatically drafted from your bank account, typically fourteen days from the date of the bill. If you want to combine this payment option with our Budget Billing Plan, it will make it even easier by letting you know exactly how much will be drafted each month.

Participation is easy, and free. Enroll in automatic bank draft. The form is submitted securely to our Customer Service department.
