It is not advisable to use your bank’s bill pay option. However, if you wish to use bill pay, please ensure that you include the full mailing address.
You may pay via phone using an electronic check (e-Check), credit card, or debit card at 888-387-8027.
The following credit cards are accepted for payment: Discover, MasterCard and Visa. Credit card payments impose an additional fee of 2.49% (or $2.00 minimum) processing fee.
A convenience fee will be charged for each credit or debit card transaction. Convenience fees are charged to cover the administrative cost associated with accepting payments online. These fees are collected by JPMorgan Chase Bank and are non-refundable. Neither the City of New Orleans nor the Bureau of Treasury receives any portion of the fee.
When making a payment via phone, the representative will ask for your email address so that you may receive a payment confirmation. If you do not have an email address, please inform the representative.
You should receive two (2) payment confirmations. Your first confirmation number confirms an attempt to pay. The second confirms that the payment was drafted from your bank account. Contact your financial institution to confirm the transaction was completed.
