Pay Your Utility Bill

WARNING 

City of Alcoa utility customers have recently raised questions and concerns regarding Doxo, an online payment service that helps consumers manage all their various utility accounts in one place for the purpose of streamlining bill payments. Doxo uses the utility’s name/logo without the utility’s permission. When using the Doxo website, it appears customers are paying the utility, when payment in fact goes to Doxo. Doxo then forwards the payment to the utility, which can be delayed – resulting in late payments to the customer’s account and a possible disconnection of service.

The City of Alcoa is not affiliated with DOXO and, having no connection with DOXO, cannot track or obtain any information about transactions made through them. If not mailing their payment or paying in person at the City of Alcoa Municipal building, the only online payment option the City of Alcoa endorses is the one available on the City of Alcoa website, www.cityofalcoa-tn.gov.

Utility Billing Information


  •  Utility bills are issued monthly, and are due on or before the due date.
  • Failure to receive a utility bill will not release customer from payment obligation.
  • If the due date falls on a weekend or a holiday in which the City of Alcoa is closed, payment will be accepted the next working day with no penalty or late fee.
  • If the utility bill is not paid by the due date, a 5% penalty will be applied to the net amount.
  • If the utility bill has not been paid 10 days after the due date, a $25 late fee will be added and service(s) may be disconnected.

Multiple Accounts


At this time, if you have multiple accounts, this system will not link them for a single payment. We have made a request to the vendor to see if this feature can be added. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Medicare Advantage Plans

Some Medicare Advantage plans recently broadened the scope of benefits offered  to include eligible utility payments. Depending on the program, money is loaded onto a separate card or onto your insurance card, and those funds can be used to pay utility payments. These forms of payment have limited processing options and currently cannot be processed in person.

Please be aware of the following:

  • The United Healthcare UCard cannot be used in the office, by phone, or through the online payment portal. To gain access to your United Healthcare benefit of paying utilities you must register for the UCard Hub website or mobile app. For more information please visit: https://www.uhc.com/medicare/shop/ucard.html

Payments made using UCard may take several business days to be received by the City of Alcoa. Please allow additional time for payment to be received and processed.
