About E-Bills

As a registered user of the Customer Care and Billing Online Services, you can elect to receive your City of Raleigh utility bills electronically. There are many advantages to E-Bill: Email notification with bill details; receive your bill instantly, no mailing delays, reduce paperwork and simple and convenient access.

Here's how it works:

An E-Bill customer receives an email alert each month when their paperless bill has been prepared.
The email alert includes the Amount Due and Due Date, as well as links to make an online payment, view the current bill, etc.
Paper bills will no longer be mailed; however, if a paper copy is needed, it can be printed from the self service site.

Sign up today to start receiving electronic statements. If you have more than one account, you will need to accept the E-Bill terms and conditions for each account. Enrollment is simple. Why not give it a try?

Legal Name Changes

To request an update to the name on an existing account due to a legal name change, please contact a Customer Service Representative by email or call 919-996-3245 for assistance.

You may be asked to provide the following:

If Account Holder is Deceased

It is unlawful to retain a utility account in the name of a deceased person.

The account must be closed and a new account opened in the name of the responsible party (i.e., the surviving spouse or family member, an estate or trust, etc.).

In addition to the items listed above, you may be asked to provide copies of:

Death certificate
Court documents
Testamentary letter
Any other affidavit or document from the court that verifies that an estate exists and/or designates the executor's name and address

A deposit of $50 may still be required. However, the service initiation fee of $50 for the new account will be waived in this circumstance.
