A convenience charge applies only to property tax payments made through Paymentus. The fees are 2.5% for credit card payments and 1.5% for debit card payments.  There is no fee for any of the other payment types when using Paymentus.

We also offer many other payment options, including in-person payments, pre-authorized payments, and online banking that do not have a fee associated with them.

No login or password is required for one-time payments, making it quick and easy to use!
