The City of Wheaton Finance Department is responsible for collecting payments on behalf of the City. This includes bills for water and sewer service, parking tickets, and any other payments individuals or companies owe to the municipality.
Online Bill Pay
One of the most convenient ways to pay your City of Wheaton bills is through online bill pay. The City offers an online self-service portal where you can view and pay your bills. This allows you to securely pay by credit card or electronic check 24/7 without having to mail payments or visit City Hall.
To use the online bill pay system, you will need to create an account on the City’s website. You can then log in anytime to view outstanding balances and make one-time payments.
AutoPay
Another easy option is to enroll in AutoPay to have your City of Wheaton bills paid automatically each month. This ensures your bills are paid on time without any additional effort on your part.
You can sign up for AutoPay through the online self-service portal. Or if you prefer, you can fill out a paper AutoPay form and submit it by mail or in person to City Hall. With AutoPay, the total amount due each month is automatically deducted from your chosen bank account or charged to your credit card.
Pay By Mail
If you want to pay your City bills by check without using online bill pay, you can mail your payments to:
City of Wheaton
PO Box 727
Wheaton, IL 60187
Be sure to allow enough time for mailed payments to reach the City by your bill’s due date to avoid any late fees. Include your complete account number on the check so your payment is properly credited.
Pay In Person
You also have the option to pay your City of Wheaton bills in person at the Finance Department located at City Hall (303 W Wesley St, Wheaton, IL 60187). You can pay by cash, check, or credit card Monday-Friday between 8am-5pm.
The City also has a blue drop box located just west of City Hall where you can leave check payments after hours. Simply enter the driveway off Wesley Street and you’ll see the drop box on your left.
Parking Citations
If you received a parking citation in downtown Wheaton or a City parking lot, you will pay this differently than a regular City bill. Parking citations say “Citation” at the top and instruct you to pay at wheatonil.rmcpay.com. You can easily pay these online.
Violations
For parking violations issued outside downtown/City lots or other violations like building code or zoning issues, you’ll pay these differently. Violations say “Violation” at the top and have an alphanumeric Ticket #. You can pay violations through the City’s online self-service portal or by mail, in person, etc.
