Utility Bills are sent out monthly, and payments are due around the 25th of the month, but a grace period until the 5th of the following month is allowed.

Payment Options: Payment may be made in person or by drop box to City Hall at 414 High Street, or by mail to City of Seaford, PO Box 1100, Seaford, DE 19973, or online at www.seafordde.com.

Late Payments: If a utility bill is not paid by 5 pm on the 5th of the month, 1.5% penalty is assessed on the past due outstanding balance. Penalty is considered a "demand charge”, meaning due upon assessment.

Understanding Your Bill: Mayor David Genshaw & Electric Liaison Matt MacCoy recently did a video explaining how to read your utility bill! The video is on our Youtube here.
