Credit Cards

Tax Collector's Office customers can use PointandPay, a third party vendor, to facilitate Master Card, Discover and American Express card transactions (as well as Visa for selected transactions).

Attention: Effective May 1, 2009, Visa credit/debit cards are not accepted for walk-in transactions. Pursuant to Visa Inc. policies, its cardholders can only use their Visa credit/debit cards for online, mail and automated telephone payment transactions.

No convenience fee is charged for regular online, automated telephone, and mail-in vehicle registration renewals. Also, convenience fees are not charged for online local business tax receipt renewal transactions.

Note: New online specialty tag orders, non-scheduled online tag changes and walk-in credit card transactions are not regular online transactions and in such cases a convenience fee is charged. Presently, convenience fees are also charged for property tax payments. When a convenience fee is charged for the use of PoinandPay's service, the customer agrees to pay a 2.5% (minimum of $2) convenience fee per transaction.
