The Easy Pay program allows residents the ease and convenience of pre-authorized tax payments, providing you an opportunity to tailor your tax payments to your monthly, quarterly, or due date budget. You will no longer need to worry about remembering to make your payment or about lost payments.

Upon completion of the authorization form, the City notifies your financial institution that you wish to have your tax payments drawn directly from your checking or savings account. Each month, quarter, or due date we will notify your financial institution of the amount that must be subtracted from your account. Your financial institution will then automatically withdraw this amount and forward it to the City.

Since January 1, 1999, the citizens of Newport News are able to electronically deduct a set amount from their Bank, Savings & Loan or Credit Union account automatically.

There is no charge from the City.

The automatic payment plan works like a check in every way. Instead of receiving a canceled check with your monthly statement, the payment will appear as a line item on your statement.

On the 5th of each month or quarter, or you may choose to have the full amount of tax debited on the tax due date.

The choice is yours. You may allow the City to estimate the monthly, quarterly, or due date tax payment in order to pay your tax in full upon the tax due date or you may select a monthly debit amount to accommodate your budget. However, if a balance remains on the due date, it is your responsibility to pay the remaining balance in full.

Yes, you will receive an Easy Pay statement reflecting all tax assessments included in the Easy Pay Program.

If a new vehicle has been acquired or a vehicle has been disposed of, please notify the Treasurer's Office so that your Easy Pay account may be adjusted to show an increase or decrease of your debit amount. Be sure to indicate on the notice of acquisition or disposal that you are participating in the Easy Pay Program.

Certainly. Just provide your cancel notification in writing before the 2nd of the month to ensure a stop is placed on the pre-authorized debit.
