Online or telephone banking: Can be used for water/utility accounts and property taxes. Contact your financial institution to set up your water/utility account and property tax for online/telephone payments. You may also visit Regina.ca/utilitypayment to enrol in the Direct Debit Plan, which authorizes your financial institution to pay for your utility bill or the Budget Billing Plan if you prefer equalized payments. Sign up for Utility e-bills to receive paperless notices via email.

Postal mail: Can be used for all payments including business licences. Attach your payment stub to your cheque and mail it to City Of Regina, PO Box 1790, Regina, SK, S4P 4J3. To avoid late penalties, ensure you mail your payment at least one week before it is due.
