CUSTOMER WARNING ABOUT DOXO.COM THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE
There is an online bill pay website that is called Doxo.com. It is a third-party website that allows people to pay their utility bills via their website. It may appear that Doxo.com is affiliated with the Village of Benzonia, IT IS NOT!
Doxo.com may charge customers extra fees and the Village of Benzonia has no control over when we receive payments made through Doxo.com. That could result in a late payment fee being applied to your account or possibly even disconnection due to non-payment. This is an example of the Doxo.com payment site:
If you receive any suspicious phone calls or emails from someone claiming to represent the Village of Benzonia or requesting payment, please call the Village right away.

We appreciate your business and want to make sure your Village of Benzonia account is secure. Thank you for your patronage!
