How to Upload Bills in Bulk Using Bill Presentment Uploads

MuniciPay allows government agencies to upload parcel bills in bulk using a "ZIP file", making it easier to manage large volumes of bill presentment data at once.

The bulk upload process includes built-in file-size controls, ZIP-file security protections, and clear error reporting for any files that cannot be processed. Successfully matched bills will appear with the related item on the "MuniciPay Item Overview" page.

How to Upload a Bulk Bill File

Log in to your account. Click the "Billing Data" tab. From the drop-down menu, select "Bill Presentment Uploads".

Select the appropriate "Department".

Choose the "Billing Year".

Select the applicable "Installment Number".

Add your ZIP file by either:

- Dragging and dropping the file into the upload area, or

- Clicking the upload area to browse and select the file from your computer.

Once your file has been selected, click "Upload Your File".

What Happens After Upload

MuniciPay will process the ZIP file and attempt to match each bill to the appropriate item.

Successfully matched bills will then appear with the related item on the "Item Overview" page, allowing users to quickly access the corresponding bill.

If a file cannot be processed, MuniciPay will provide clear error information so you can identify and correct the issue.
