LATE PAYMENT POLICY 
All utility bills are due and payable in full on or before the 10th of each month. The City of Hillsboro does not intend to extend credit to its utility customers and the City of Hillsboro does not anticipate late payment of its utility bills. As a result, a late payment of 1 ¾ percent per month will be imposed on all accounts not paid when due (not paid by the 10th of each month). 
If a utility bill is not paid in full by the 10th of the month, such bill is delinquent. Shut-off notices will be sent by the City Auditor by first class mail. Said shut-off notices shall advise the person in whose name the utility account is listed of his or her right to appear at the next regularly-scheduled Hillsboro City Commission meeting (the second regularly-scheduled Hillsboro City Commission meeting of the month of the shut-off notice) and discuss with said City Commission the delinquent account. All decisions regarding disconnecting the utility services shall be made at the second regularly-scheduled City Commission meeting, unless the City Commission, by majority vote, has agreed to the contrary. The decisions made by the City Commissioners regarding the discontinuance of utility services shall be recorded by the City Auditor as a part of the meeting minutes. A person receiving a shut-off notice need not appear at the City Commission meeting set in said shut-off notice as the time for that person to appear; however, after said meeting the City of Hillsboro may disconnect the utilities of a person with a delinquent utility account, regardless of whether such person appeared at the City Commission meeting listed in the shut-off notice. All people whose utilities are disconnected because the account was delinquent shall pay re-connection fees in accordance with the Hillsboro City Ordinances and shall pay the delinquent account plus penalty prior to having utility services reconnected. All owners of real estate that lease out their property to a tenant or tenants shall be personally liable for any unpaid utility account by a tenant or tenants upon vacation of such rented premises by the tenant. No exceptions to the regulation will be allowed.
