Bill Payments & Other Front Counter Business

Water bill payments can be made via mail or the drop box located outside of City Hall. Additionally, staff is working diligently to enable online water bill payment. The goal is to have this implemented for the first billing cycle within the next 14 days. There will be no water shutoffs due to non-payment during this local emergency.

Business Licenses can still be obtained by submitting the paperwork and accompanying payment by mail or the drop box located outside of City Hall.

Garbage bill payments to Napa Recycling and Waste Services can be made online at [email protected], over the phone at (707) 255-5200 or at the drop box at the Payment Center at 598 Lincoln Avenue. Walk-in service at the Payment Center will be closed until further notice starting Wednesday, March 18th.

The City of Napa thanks you in advance for taking all precautions to prevent spreading the COVID-19 virus.
