In this article, I’ll outline everything you need to know about paying your Skiatook utility bill online. We’ll cover setting up an account, payment methods, due dates, fees to avoid, and tips for a smooth payment process. Let’s dive in!
Creating an Online Account
The first step is registering for an online account on the Municipal Online Payments website. Click “Sign In/Register” and choose “Register for an Account.”
You’ll need to enter some personal details like your name, account number, email address, and phone number. Create a username and password. Check your email to activate your account.
The City also offers a GE portal to view detailed utility usage once registered.
Payment Options
With your online account. you can pay your Skiatook utility bill by
- Credit or debit card
- eCheck (direct bank account withdrawals)
A $2.50 convenience fee applies per transaction.
You can also pay by phone, mail, or auto-draft from your bank account to avoid fees.
Payment Due Dates
Skiatook utility bills are due on the 10th of each month. If the 10th falls on a weekend or holiday, it’s due the next business day.
Bills are sent out around the 25th of the prior month. So you have a couple weeks to pay online before the due date.
I recommend paying at least 3-5 days early so your payment has time to process by the 10th. Late fees apply after the due date.
Avoid Late Fees
If your utility bill isn’t paid on time, Skiatook tacks on a 10% penalty of the past due amount. Yikes!
Set payment reminders and pay as soon as you receive your bill to avoid late fees. Or you can enroll in auto-draft from your bank account to have payments sent automatically each month.
Tips for Online Bill Pay
Here are some final pointers to make paying your Skiatook utility bill online smooth sailing:
- Update your contact info to get bill notifications.
- Review statements for abnormal usage.
- Check payment history in your online account.
- Have your account number ready for quick guest payments.
- Consider paperless billing to go green.
