What is the EasyCheck program?
The Easy Check program allows individuals the ease and convenience of pre-authorized tax payments, via a secured web page, providing you an opportunity to make your tax payments electronically. You will no longer need to worry about remembering to mail your payments.
How does the EasyCheck program work?
Upon completion of the authorization form, the City notifies your financial institution that you wish to have your tax payment(s) drawn directly from your checking or savings account electronically. Your Financial Institution will then withdraw the amount you authorize and forward it to the City, which will apply it to the tax account(s) which you have chosen.
How much does it cost to participate?
There is no charge from the City or your Financial Institution to use this service.
How will I know my financial institution paid my bill?
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.
When will my account be debited?
Your account may be debited on the same date you submit your authorization, or up to five working days after your submission. Authorization received on tax due dates will be processed that working day.
May I select the amount to be debited?
You may select to pay all your accounts in full, or you may select an amount which accommodates your budget. However, if a balance remains on the due date, it is your responsibility to pay the remaining balance in full.
Will I receive a tax bill?
Yes. Your tax bill will reflect the most recent payments and indicate the balance due.
Can I cancel the Easy Check program at any time?
Yes. Each time you use the service is considered a separate occurrence. If you no longer wish to pay with Easy Check, simply do not submit any more requests.
How do I sign up for the EasyCheck program?
Simply follow the Easy Check link to go to the EasyCheck form.
