Pre-Payments

Prepaying Taxes

• Consider prepaying your taxes for the next year by making on-line payments or through the Pre-Authorized Withdrawal program
• Interest is earned on any credits on the account
• Total Prepayments will be itemized on your property tax notice called "Prepayments/Adjustments"
• No monthly receipts will be sent
• Credits will be subtracted from the taxes levied for the year, the bottom total on the Property Tax Notice will be what is left to pay, if anything
• If there is an overpayment (a negative amount) the credit will carry forward to the next years taxes and earn interest for the year
• You decide how much is withdrawn (we can help with an estimate or use the on-line Property Tax Estimator)
• Set up a MyCity account to view your tax balance as you make payments

Advantages of making On-line payments vs our PAWS program

• Choose when the payments come out and how often vs our program is once on the 5th of the month
• Can change payments up to the night before vs our system requires 2 weeks written notice to cancel or change amount
• Make payments in June which is not in our program
• No application or cancellation forms to fill out
• PAWS has a $25 returned fee if a payment is returned
