SIDNEY — The city of Sidney has instituted new methods for city making utility payments, account transfers and tax returns and payments. City of Sidney facilities are now closed in an effort avoid spreading COVID-19 .
For utility payments and account transfers
The following options are available to make a utility payment or account transfer:

• Online at www.sidneyoh.com by using a checking or savings account, credit or debit card
• The bank bill payment process: Be sure to include utility account number, which is located on the utility bill. The first nine to 10 digits before the hyphen is the account number, the five digits after the hyphen is the customer number.
• By phone: This is NEW, for additional customer convenience during this coronavirus pandemic. Payments via credit or debit card may now be taken by phone. Call 937-498-8114 to make a utility payment by phone.
For new service or for service transfers: Changes in service will take place over the phone with the proper information.

The city of Sidney warns citizens to be aware of a payment site that frequently comes up if a “Google” search is conducted to pay a Sidney utility bill: doxo.com. This site will submit a payment for the Sidney utility bill, but will charge a high fee to do so.
