| Can I make online
payments? |
Tax and water payments
can now be made online through most local banks. Check
with your bank to see if you must first set up your Internet
account with them directly before you go online.
Once online, should you encounter
problems setting up your water account number, please
enter two zeros (00) in front of your account number for a total
of nine digits. Your account number can be located on the
top right-hand corner of your bill. For tax account
payments, please use your roll number. This number starts
with 4702, followed by another series of 12 numbers (000
00000 0000) These last twelve numbers are what the Town requires
to identify your property.
Should you have any questions,
please call the Town Hall (623-4231) or your local bank. |
