Welcome to the City of Gulfport Utility Billing Department! Payments are accepted online, by phone, EFT- Direct Debit, or in the office with cash, check, or credit card (there is a minimum fee of $2.50 or 3.75% service fee, whichever is greater). Payments can be mailed to a lock box processing center. However, no responsibility for late fees will be assumed if payment is received late. Both locations have an overnight drop box to drop a payment by check or money order only, along with your bill stub.
Additionally, customers are welcome to come in, call, or email any issues or concerns regarding their utility bills. Requests for bill adjustments, e-billing/direct debit authorization or cancellation requests, setting up new service, and disconnecting service may be submitted to the office, by email, or mailed in. New service and disconnect requests received in the office by 5 p.m. will be scheduled as early as the following business day. All TAP fees for new construction can be paid in either office.
All services are billed monthly and become delinquent after the due date. An 11% late fee is assessed on unpaid balances not received in the office and receipted by 5 pm on or before the due date printed on the bill.
If you have questions or concerns about water quality or sewage issues, please contact PUBLIC WORKS at 228-868-5740.
