REMINDER OF OPTIONS FOR DOING BUSINESS AT THE CITY OF ASTORIA
The City of Astoria provides many resources to help you go about your daily business while also taking care of the health and safety of you and your loved ones. When applying for permits, paying your bills or for general questions, please consider options available to you from your home.
For example, the City of Astoria provides permit applications for activities that are performed within the City and on City right-of-ways on the website. Forms may be returned by email to the appropriate departments. Questions may be asked either by calling or emailing the contacts on the forms or on the department web pages at www.astoria.or.us.
Water bills may be paid using Quick Payment on the website. Please have your account number ready as well as the customer’s last name as shown on the utility bill.
