Submitting Payment

  1. Detaching the stub and submitting it with your check is acceptable, however, the only receipt of payment/proof of payment will be your returned check.
  2. Submit the entire bill with your check (with or without an envelope) and we will send back the receipted body of the bill and return it to the address on the bill.
    • Note: If your address differs from that indicated on the bill, then you need to submit an envelope with the correct address.
  3. Submit only the amount due. Do not round up or estimate. Please call our office if you do not have the current quarter amount due.

In the event your mortgage company or bank is no longer responsible for your taxes, it is advisable for you to contact this office immediately for up to date records.
