Our clerks are very friendly and eager to assist you with billing for water and sewer, payment for business licenses, rental fees for the Ponderosa Room and the Fred Brown Pavilion, permits for the city water pump, and the purchase of cemetery lots.
The Billings Clerks also perform many clerical duties, sending notices to residents for ordinance violations, such as high grass and junk vehicles; mailing out business licenses; preparing reports, forms and legal documents and letters; filing office correspondence; issuing monthly water and sewer bills; maintaining accounts and accounts receivable ledger and cemetery plots.
You can view and download copies of various permits needed in the city. Forms must be mailed or delivered to City Hall, PO Box 1428, Libby, Mt. 59923.
