The City of Summerset Finance Office is the hub of everything that happens in our community.

Utility Billing:

Our payment options include:
- Two (2) payment drop boxes (one located in the parking lot of City Hall and the other located at the entrance to Sun Valley Development).
- Mail utility payments to City Hall.
- Make payment in person at City Hall in the Administration Office.
- Make credit or debit card payments via the City Utility Portal.
- A monthly automatic bank draft for payment.
We encourage utility customers to use the automatic bank draft for payment of their utility bills. Please sign up in the Finance Office or download and complete our ACH Form and return it to the Finance Office.
