E-Checks
Tax Collector's Office customers can use Automation Technologies, a third party vendor, to facilitate e-check payments for selected payment transactions. No convenience fee is charged for regular online vehicle registration renewals. Also, convenience fees are not charged for online local business tax receipt renewal transactions.
| Note: New online specialty tag orders and non-scheduled online tag changes are not regular online transactions and in such cases a convenience fee is charged.
