The Henrico Department of Public Utilities bills customers for water and sewer services bi-monthly. You may continue to pay your utility bill as you normally do, or you may choose to use our Direct Utility Payment Program. This service will automatically deduct utility payments from your bank account, just like a mortgage or car payment, thus saving you the need to send utility payments by mail or making them in person.
Ways to Make Payments
- The Direct Payment Authorization Form must be printed, completed, signed and returned to the indicated address along with a voided check. Once enrolled, utility bills will be mailed showing the new account balance and indicating when the automatic deduction will be made. There is no additional charge for this service. (Note: This payment method is different from the auto pay process available from Paymentus.)
- Payments may be made by mailing a check or money order with the bottom portion of the utility bill in the return envelope provided with the bill. You must attach proper postage to the return envelope. Please allow 7-10 business days for processing. Payments may also be made in person at the Henrico County – Treasury Office, 4301 E. Parham Road or at the Henrico Eastern Government Center, 3820 Nine Mile Road.
- Payments may be made in person at the following locations using cash, checks, debit/credit cards.
- Western Government Center (Treasury Office) – 4301 E Parham Road
- Eastern Government Center – 3820 Nine Mile Road
- You may pay your Henrico County utility bill over the Internet using the Paymentus Customer Portal. Payment options through Paymentus include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card or electronic check. To pay online, visit https://ipn.paymentus.com/cp/hnro.
- You may pay your Henrico County utility bill by phone at (804) 501-4275 (option 1). This option links the customer to Paymentus.
- The County has partnered with PayNearMe to offer an easy and convenient cash payment option at local businesses. To pay with PayNearMe, you will need a PayNearMe barcode that you can print or send to your mobile phone. To obtain a PayNearMe barcode and all the details, go to https://henrico.gov/services/pay-near-me/.
Fees
In the event your check or electronic debit is returned unpaid, an additional service charge of $50.00 will be added to your amount due for the processing of the returned item as allowed by the Code of Virginia and the Code of Henrico County. In the event that your check is returned unpaid for insufficient or uncollected funds, we may re-present your check electronically. Your check will not be provided to you with your bank statement, but a copy can be retrieved by contacting your financial institution.
