El Paso billed Donald J. Trump for President Inc., sending the invoice to the campaign’s Fifth Avenue offices in New York on March 27. The bill was due April 26, and according to El Paso officials, they have yet to see a dime.
As the months passed with no sign of payment, El Paso sent multiple letters to the Trump campaign warning of penalties if it didn't comply.
"Failure to pay your past due balance or to make acceptable payment arrangement within 30 days from the date of this notice (May 23) may result in your account being charged a one-time collection fee of 21 percent on your gross account receivable balance," a letter from El Paso's Office of the Comptroller states, given to ABC News from the city of El Paso.
"As with any invoices we issue out, our expectation is to be paid for the services rendered,” Robert Cortinas, El Paso’s chief financial officer, told ABC News in a statement. “The City is fiscally responsible,” he said.
If the Trump campaign does not pay, the city of El Paso says the money would have to come out of the city’s contingency budget -- funds used for unexpected and emergency situations, such as natural disasters. The more than half-million dollars is also equivalent to the annual salaries of several El Paso police officers - law enforcement the president praised in the wake of Saturday's mass shooting for responding with "extraordinary grace and courage."
Donald J. Trump for President Inc.'s now outstanding $569,204.63 balance due is about 63% of the city's contingency budget for the entire year.

ABC News has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment, but has not heard back.

In June, the campaign said it doubts El Paso's accounting, implying it's been overcharged.
