News and Announcements

FrontDesk Launches

The City has launched the new FrontDesk, a web-based platform that gives our residents access to a variety of tools to interact with us in one convenient place. We have invested in this platform to provide a modern, satisfying, and convenient experience. This is a part of our effort to provide superior customer service and offerings to Hillsboro residents and to strengthen the connection between citizen and government.

Sign up for FrontDesk here: cityofhillsboro.frontdeskgworks.com

Electric Surcharge

Starting on June 2021 electric bills, customers will see a $.01 per kWh surcharge on electrical consumption. The surcharge is a passthrough from the city’s electric wholesale provider. The charge will be in effect for approximately 24 months. The surcharge is a result of the February 2021 severe weather that caused energy prices to spike to record levels. If you have questions about the surcharge please call City Hall at 620-947-3162.

Utility Deposit Credits

The City changed policy on Utility Deposits, going from a refundable deposit to a flat fee. Customers that had utility deposits on file with the city will receive those back in the form of billing credit starting on the June 2021 bills. If you have a credit on your bill for June and have questions please call City Hall at 620-947-3162.

Credit Card Changes

Starting on July 1, 2021 utility customers will no longer be able to call in to use a credit card for payment. The city has changed its practice for data security reasons. Credit card payments are still accepted through FrontDesk and in person in City offices. Customers can still pay with cash, check or credit card in person. Cash and check are accepted by mail or in the City Hall drop box.
