MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING

On Thursday, Oct. 6, the Treasure Valley Partnership, which is a group of mayors and county commission representatives, hosted a tax policy forum with local elected leaders and legislative candidates.

The focus was education and discussion on tax policy, with presentations by Alan Dornfest and Tom Shaner from the Idaho State Tax Commission. The local elected officials look forward to collaborating with legislators ahead of the next legislative session.

CITY OF NAMPA UPDATES

LEARN MORE

Important Information for our Utility Customers

The City of Nampa will officially switch to a new utility billing website for our customers on November 21, 2022. The existing utility payment system used is being phased out and an update is needed. The new electronic billing and payment portal costs less, provides additional options for customers and is more user-friendly.

Unfortunately, we are unable to copy customer debit/credit card information to the new system. Customers who currently have auto-payment set up on the utility billing website using a debit or credit card must enter payment information into the new customer website before November 21, 2022 to avoid late payments or future shut-offs.

In order for this to be a smooth transition for those who pay online, customers are asked to set up their new account before November 21 at https://nampa.billingdoc.net.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and last week leaders from across the Treasure Valley came together to stand in unity against domestic violence.
