For the convenience of residents and business owners, the City of Wheeling is adding to its online payment menu.

Assistant Finance Director John Carlier said payments for fire service fees, city service fees, B&O taxes, business licenses and hotel/motel taxes can now be paid via the City’s website. Online payments for traffic citations, municipal court fines, building code violations and utility bills were instituted in the last several years and will continue to be accepted as well.

“Individuals wishing to pay electronically simply need to visit the City’s website at wheelingwv.gov and select the Pay Online link that appears in the menu across the top of the webpage. From there, the user will select what he or she would like to pay and then follow the prompts,” he said, noting that individuals wishing to pay a fine or bill via telephone, by mailing it or visiting the finance office can still do so. The online payment capability is in addition to the other payment methods. 

“In a time when many folks do most of their business electronically, we are pleased to expand what can be paid online. It’s simple and convenient,” he said. “Saying goodbye to paper checks allows customers to enjoy quick and secure payments from the comfort of their homes or offices. They can also save on postage costs and will receive an immediate payment confirmation along with access to payment information and history. In addition to being convenient, paying a bill online is also environmentally friendly.”

Individuals with questions about online payments should contact the City of Wheeling’s finance department at (304) 234-6473.
