Checks

Any check(s) received by the Revenue office will be returned to the sender if any of the following apply to avoid the possibility that the bank will refuse the check.

1) If the legal line is blank or illegible 

2) If the check is unsigned

3) If the check is post dated (checks may be deposited the same day as date received)

The check should make reference property address, parcel number, or license plate number so that we know where to apply payment. If the legal line of the check is different from the courtesy box, the legal line will be the amount applied to your account(s). The taxpayer is still responsible for the balance due.

ACH - Electronic Bill Payment - Postmark. These services may not mail your payment when you expect them to. You assume the risk of your payment arriving late if you choose to utilize these services. These payment types come to us without a US postmark, and because of this, they MUST be received on/or before the last day to pay without penalty (ex., on or before August 1) in order to be considered on time.  A US postmark controls in accordance with Sec. 12-146, but if there is no postmark, timeliness depends solely upon our receipt of the payment not the date of the check. Please read your financial institutions warnings regarding electronic bill payment service as many specifically advise not to use the service for tax payments for the reasons given.
