Through the EFT program, your bill payment is deducted automatically from your checking or savings account:

• Saves You Time – no more checks to write or envelopes to stuff
• Saves You Money – no stamps means no postage costs or gas to drop your payment off in person
• Cutting Stress – no more worries about late payments or late fees
• Improving Security – electronic accounting documents your payments

To signup and start making payments through EFT

1. Download a copy of the EFT application and fill it out
2. Attach a voided check - Please do not include payment in the same envelope with your EFT application
3. Mail to: County of Sacramento. 9700 Goethe Road, Suite C, Sacramento, CA 95827

How does it work?

• You will still receive your regular utility bill, but it will be paid out of the checking or savings account you designate. Payments will be processed on or about your delinquent date (if not on your delinquent date, within 1 to 2 days before or after).
• Please continue paying your utility bill until you receive a letter stating that you are now on Electronic Fund Transfer.
• Proof of payment appears on your bank statement and on your next billing statement, so you will know how much you paid.
  

Want to stop EFT?

• Simple. Just call the Consolidated Utilities Billing & Service (916) 875-5555 and ask one of our representatives to cancel your Electronic Funds Transfer payments.
• Funds may not be drafted from a Credit Card or ATM Card.
