Tax Payments

Can I pay by credit/debit card?

We can process credit/debit cards in the Town Hall Tax office. Please note there is a 2.95% processing fee to use a credit or debit card. This fee is charged by your bank/credit card company, not the Town.

I paid my taxes online. Why am I being charged interest?

When using an on line payment service, your bank still sends us a paper check. So, when you entered the date for the taxes to be paid from your bank account, you probably entered the due date printed on the tax bill. That told the bank to print the check on that date not to have it arrive in this office by that date. So by the time the bank prints the check and mails it your payment will arrive late and you will be charged interest.

Do you accept partial payments?

Yes.

What is the penalty for paying my taxes late?

Simple interest is calculated at an annual rate of 8% and is added daily. So, take your tax balance, multiply it by 0.08 and divide the result by 365. That is the amount of interest added to your account each day.
