Frequently Asked Questions

What is an NMB.US charge on my credit or debit card?

An NMB.US charge generally indicates a payment processed by the City of North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, often for services such as water/sewer utilities, beach services, parking, hospitality fees, recreation programs, or business licenses made through the city’s online or in‑person payment systems.

Why was I charged by the City of North Myrtle Beach when I only pay a water bill?

Most recurring NMB.US charges are for monthly water and sewer utility bills. The city bills customers on roughly a 30‑day cycle, so you will typically see one charge per billing period corresponding to the amount shown on your mailed or emailed utility bill and in the city’s online utility portal.

How can I verify what specific bill or service my NMB.US charge is for?

Log in to the City of North Myrtle Beach’s online payment or utility billing portal from nmb.us and review your recent payments and invoices. Match the transaction date and amount on your card statement to items in your city account history, or call the city’s customer service/utility billing office with the transaction amount and date so they can look it up for you.

How do I cancel automatic payments or recurring billing to NMB.US for my utility account?

If you set up recurring payments through the city’s online utility billing portal, log in via nmb.us, open your utility account profile, and turn off or edit the recurring payment settings. If you enrolled in automatic draft via a paper form, contact the utility billing office directly to request cancellation of auto‑draft and confirm when the change will take effect.

How can I request a refund or correction for an incorrect NMB.US charge?

Contact the relevant City of North Myrtle Beach department—typically utility billing for water/sewer charges or the department that provided the service (such as parking, beach services, or recreation). Provide the date, amount, and any invoice or account numbers from your bill or receipt. City staff can review the transaction, issue billing adjustments when appropriate, or guide you through a formal refund request if warranted.

Are there small temporary or pending NMB.US charges I should expect?

In most cases, NMB.US charges represent finalized payments rather than small authorization holds. However, if you recently added or updated a card in an online portal, you may briefly see a small pending test amount used to validate the card, which should drop off automatically once the card is confirmed.

What are common amounts for NMB.US utility or city service charges?

Utility bills vary by water usage and service type, but for a typical single‑family residence you’ll usually see a single monthly NMB.US charge that matches the total due on your city utility bill. Other city services—such as parking passes, beach chair/umbrella rentals, recreation program fees, or license fees—will appear as one‑time charges for the posted fee amount at the time you completed the transaction.

How do I contact someone about an NMB.US charge I don’t recognize?

Visit nmb.us to find contact details for Utility Billing, Finance, or the specific department you dealt with. You can call the listed customer service or utility billing phone numbers, or use the published email addresses (such as those on the Utilities or Payments pages) and include your name, service address (if applicable), best contact number, and details of the charge so staff can investigate. If you still suspect fraud after speaking with the city, contact your card issuer to dispute the transaction.
