Payment Options & Information

Pre-Authorized Payment (PAP) plans can be started at any point in the year, as long as the account is paid up to date. Note: we require 5 business days' notice for additions, deletions or plan changes. There are 5 types of plans available:

• Installment Plan: withdrawn automatically from your bank account on the installment due dates;
• Monthly Plan: withdrawn on the 15th of the month, 10 months of the year (February through November). Monthly payment amounts are printed on the interim and final tax bills each year.
• Monthly 30 Plan: withdrawn on the 30th of the month, 10 months of the year (February through November). Monthly payment amounts are printed on the interim and final tax bills each year.

• To determine your monthly payment amount, each bill is divided by the number of monthly payments. The payment amount is printed on the tax bill:
  • Interim bill reflects payment amount for February, March, April, May and June
  • Final bill reflects payment amount for July, August, September, October and November
• The Installment plan amounts are withdrawn in the amount reflected on your interim and final tax bills, on the due dates reflected on the tax bills.
• Supplemental levies may be withdrawn differently based on the number of payments left in the plan: you would be notified in writing of this change.
