Tax Payment Options

Online Payment Portal

Online tax payments can be made 24 hours a day in the online payment portal. The tax account number (located in the upper right corner of each tax statement) is all that is needed to make a payment online. Visit the Pay Online page for more information. 

Upgrades have been made to the online payment portal to allow taxpayers to create a user ID, which will allow the taxpayer to gather all personal property and real estate tax accounts under a single user account and then pay multiple accounts in one transaction. Additionally, payments can be made as a guest.

The portal will allow taxpayers to view invoices dating back to 2018, view payments made through the portal and to make payments on their tax accounts. Payments can be made the same day, or scheduled for a future date, including scheduling installment payments up to a due date.
