What you'll need to pay online:

  • Your City tax return [you'll need to know how much to pay!] or your Utility bill.
  • Your City of Delaware Tax ID number [5 digits followed by a letter [R,W, or B]] or your Utility Customer number (##.####[#].#[#]).  The '[#]' digits may not be applicable for your account number.
Here's what you'll do:  [please read all instructions first!]
