Are you tired of standing in long lines to pay your water bill? Or maybe you keep forgetting the due date until you receive that dreaded late notice? Well, I’ve got some good news for you! Toho Water Authority offers several convenient ways to pay your water bill that’ll make your life so much easier. As someone who’s been a Toho customer for years, I wanted to share everything I’ve learned about their payment options.
Why Paying Your Toho Water Bill Matters
Before diving into the payment methods, let’s talk about why paying your water bill on time is important. As Toho Water Authority explains on their website, “Utility bill payments ensures we can provide the best services possible and invest for future generations.” They provide some of the lowest water rates in Central Florida, and they can maintain this thanks to customers making timely utility payments. We’re all in this together!
Four Easy Ways to Pay Your Toho Water Bill
Toho Water Authority offers four convenient payment options to fit your busy lifestyle. Let’s explore each one:
1. Online Payment Portal
This is my personal favorite way to pay! Toho offers an online payment portal where you can:
- Create an account to avoid convenience fees
- Schedule payments in advance
- Set up autopay so you never miss a payment
- Access your billing history
To pay online, simply visit the Toho website and click on “Pay My Bill” or go directly to their payment portal at betamypayments.bill2pay.com/client/toho.
Pro tip: Creating an online payment account helps you avoid additional fees that come with one-time payments!
2. One-Time Payment Option
Don’t want to create an account? No problem! Toho offers a one-time payment option at schedulepayment.com/toho/UnEnrolledUser/verifyUserDetails.
To use this service you’ll need
- Your full 18-digit account number (including the “-“)
- The 5-digit billing zip code printed on your statement
Just be aware that this option does incur additional fees – specifically, a $125 convenience fee for every $100 when using credit/debit cards So if your water bill is $200, you’d pay an extra $2.50 in convenience fees.
3. eBills
Want to go paperless and help the environment? Toho’s got you covered with their eBill option. As they say on their website “Trees and Mother Nature will love you for this.”
To sign up for eBills:
- Create an online payment account
- Opt in to receive eBills
- Start receiving your bills electronically
This option not only saves trees but also ensures you receive your bill instantly!
4. Payment Assistance Programs
Life happens, and sometimes we all face unexpected financial difficulties. If you’re struggling to pay your water bill, Toho offers payment assistance programs:
- Payment extension options
- TAP (Toho Assistance Program) for financial assistance
You can find more information about these programs on their Payment Assistance page.
How to Create an Online Payment Account
Setting up an online payment account with Toho Water is super easy and comes with many benefits. Here’s how to do it:
- Visit the Toho payment portal at betamypayments.bill2pay.com/client/toho
- Click on “Create a profile”
- Enter your information as requested
- Create a username and password
- Verify your account
Once your account is set up, you can log in anytime to pay your bill, schedule future payments, or set up autopay.
What You Need for One-Time Payments
If you prefer making one-time payments without creating an account, here’s what you’ll need:
- Your 18-digit account number (found on your bill)
- The 5-digit billing zip code from your statement
- Payment method details (bank account or credit/debit card)
Remember, there is a convenience fee for one-time credit/debit card payments ($1.25 per $100). To avoid these fees, consider creating an account!
Understanding Convenience Fees
When using Toho’s payment services, it’s important to understand their fee structure:
- With an online payment account: No convenience fees for eChecks or credit/debit cards (including American Express)
- One-time payments: $1.25 convenience fee for every $100 when using credit/debit cards
Toho Water Authority does not receive any portion of these convenience fees – they go to the payment processor.
Bill Questions or Concerns?
If you have questions about your bill, Toho makes it easy to get answers. Simply use their bill question form on the website, and their customer service team will follow up with you via email within two business days. This is way better than waiting on hold forever!
New Rates Starting October 2025
It’s worth noting that Toho has new water rates starting October 1, 2025. This info was just posted on their website, so make sure you’re aware of how this might affect your bill amount.

- You’ll receive a past due notice
- Late fees may be applied to your account
- In extreme cases, service could be disconnected
But the good news is that Toho offers payment assistance and extensions if you’re experiencing financial hardship. They understand that life happens!
