Make Payment Arrangements

If you are unable to pay your bill in full by the due date or would like to set up an average monthly plan that aligns with your budget, we are here to help. We offer payment plans to help our customers keep the lights on.

Average Monthly Billing Plan

Budget Billing is a monthly billing plan that allows you to spread your energy costs evenly throughout the year so you can plan and budget accordingly.

Consider this option if:

  • You’re a residential or small business customer
  • You have a City Light billing history at your current address for the past 12 months
  • You currently have a zero balance on your account
  • Your monthly bill fluctuates significantly due to seasonal highs and lows

Apply online or call (206) 684-3000.

Short Term Payment Plan

You may be able to set up a short term Payment Plan if you are unable to pay your bill in full by the due date.

Consider this option if:

  • You're a residential or small business customer
  • You are able to make monthly payments and payment in full within 120 days 

Apply online or call (206) 684-3000.

If you are experiencing a financial crisis and are having trouble paying your bill, we want to help. To update an existing Payment Plan, or to discuss possible alternative payment arrangements not reflected here, call us at (206) 684-3000.
