To set up a recurring monthly payment from your designated bank account, please complete the Authorization for Direct Payment Form (PDF) listed below and return to the City of Fruita.  Your payment will be automatically deducted from your account on the 5th of each month or the following business day if the 5th falls on a weekend or a holiday.  You may cancel your automatic payments anytime by contacting the Administrative Department at (970) 858-3663. 

Pay Online (Credit/Debit Card or eCheck)

The City of Fruita is pleased to announce that we are now able to take payments online.  By working with the Colorado Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA) on their secured platform, you can click on the "Pay Online" button to make your payments with a credit/debit card or eCheck.  Credit/debit cards accepted are American Express, Discover, Mastercard, and Visa.  A portal administration fee for credit/debit card payments or electronic check payments will be charged for and retained by the Portal, not the City of Fruita.

*A convenience fee of $1 will be charged for payments made using an electronic check regardless of the transaction amount.  A return fee may be applied to your account for entering invalid information when paying by eCheck.

*The convenience fee for credit/debit cards is $0.75 plus 2.25% of the total transaction amount.

Online Bill Pay Notice to Customers

To ensure you are paying the City of Fruita directly, please use the "Pay Online" button above which will direct you to a secure site with colorado.gov for your utility bill payments.  By paying through our website, you payment will be received by the City of Fruita instantly. 

Many third–party websites offer online bill payment services that seem affiliated with the City of Fruita, but they are not.  If you choose to make a payment using a third-party, your payments may have a 7-10 day lag between the time you make the payment and the time we receive your payment.  This may result in a late payment fee or possibly a disconnection.

For immediate payment credit to your account, please use our online payment service.  If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact us at (970) 858-3663.
