Please be aware: A 10% late fee is added on the 16th of each month to any unpaid balance. Cutoffs are processed on the 23rd, so all payments must be made by the 22nd to avoid being placed on the cutoff list.

Accounts that are two months past due are subject to disconnection. Once an account is placed on the cutoff list, the full balance must be paid to avoid disconnection. Once disconnected a reconnection fee of $50.00 is added to reconnect services before the end of the billing period, then the account is closed and you must reopen a new account. Paying only the past-due portion will not remove the account from the cutoff list.

Continuing to pay only the past-due amount can also result in additional 10% late fees being added each month.

Making payments on time or paying the full balance by the due date can help you avoid additional fees and disconnection.

Below is a copy of the renewal tax letter that all businesses received this year. We kindly ask that you take a few minutes to read the letter carefully before submitting your renewal application and the applicable fee for your business.

Please remember that there are additional items required with your renewal, depending on your type of business. Submitting only the application and fee may delay the processing of your renewal. It could also result in penalties if all required items are not submitted by the deadline.

We appreciate your cooperation and ask that you review the renewal letter carefully to ensure everything required is submitted together. This will help us process your renewal as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Debris Pickup Update

The Town is working diligently to pick up the large amount of debris throughout our community. We currently have only one truck and a limited number of employees available for debris removal, and some debris is located near curves and other areas where traffic creates safety concerns, requiring assistance from the Police Department to safely manage traffic while our crews work.

We kindly ask our citizens to please be patient and understand that we are doing everything we can to complete pickups as quickly and safely as possible.

For everyone’s safety, please DO NOT place debris in or too close to the roadway, under power lines, or near power poles. Our crews will NOT be able to pick up debris located in these hazardous areas, as doing so could put our employees at serious risk of injury.

If you are unable to wait for the Town’s pickup, you may take your debris to the Lamar County dump site or make other arrangements for removal, provided all disposal and removal methods comply with applicable state and local laws and guidelines.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we work together to get our community cleaned up.

Important Information Regarding Utility Account Cut-Offs

If your utility account is on the cut-off list, it is because the account is two months or more behind on payments. A $50.00 reconnection fee will be added once service is disconnected.

Please remember that your utility bill generally includes water, sewer, and garbage services, not water alone. A select few customers may not receive sewer or garbage service.

The Town does not disconnect services without reason. We understand that errors can happen, and if one does, we will make every effort to investigate and correct it.

We appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and continued kindness toward our clerks and employees, who are simply carrying out their assigned duties and following Town policy. Thank you for treating them with the courtesy and respect they deserve.
