Taxpayer Identification Numbers:

Taxpayer ID or Social Security numbers must be provided before payments can be made to vendors. IRS 1099 forms are issued to qualifying vendors being paid in excess of $600 for services provided annually. You may download the Taxpayer ID Number form using Adobe Acrobat Reader**.

Invoice Payment Methods:

The City of Thousand Oaks provides for vendors to be paid by check or by Direct Bill Pay. With Direct Bill Pay, your invoices are paid by direct deposit to your checking account through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) and electronic funds transfer (EFT) system. Vendors interested in Direct Bill Pay may download the Direct Bill Payment Authorization Form using Adobe Acrobat Reader**.

The signed form should be mailed to Accounts Payable (address on form) with a voided check or a bank account verification form attached. Forms may also be emailed to DirectPay@toaks.org.

Once your Direct Bill Pay authorization has been processed, you will receive an acceptance notification by regular mail, email, or both (your choice) prior to your next payment from the City of Thousand Oaks. Cancellation requests must be made in writing to the City.  Forms may be emailed to DirectPay@toaks.org.
