Pay County Taxes FAQs

Q: Why should I use PAY COUNTY TAXES?

A: With PAY COUNTY TAXES, you can pay your bill online. Most customers find online payments are easier, faster, and more convenient than traditional bill payment methods.

We value our customers and are excited to provide you with an opportunity to save valuable time.

Q: How much does it cost to pay bills with PAY COUNTY TAXES?

A: If you pay through a checking or savings account there is a $1.50 convenience fee. If you decide to pay by credit card, you will be charged a service fee. This service fee will equal 2.65% of your payment amount. For example, if your real estate tax bill is $100, your service fee (when paying by credit card) would equal $2.65.

Q: What form of payment can I use to pay my bills?

A: You can pay your bill either by an automatic draft from your bank account, or by a credit card (VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, or AMERICAN EXPRESS). When you pay your bill, you specify which payment you would like to use.
