/Setting up MyService login
When moving to a new home, first thing you should do is set up a MyService account on the City of Ottawa website. It is an online account that allows Ottawa residents to securely access multiple City services and information in one place. From there you can view the garbage collection calendar, pay your property tax and water & sewer and much more.
