A: Yes, payments may be made any time in any amount, but the full amount will need to be paid by the due date to avoid penalties on the unpaid balance.
Q: Do you accept postmarks?

Q: How do I get a receipt for my tax payment?
A: When making your payment in person, bring in your entire tax bill. We will collect either the spring or fall payment stub with your payment and will affix the Treasurer stamp to the back of your portion of the bill as a receipt for your records. When mailing in your payment, your canceled check will act as your receipt. You may request a receipt be sent to you if you enclose your portion of the bill and a self-addressed stamped envelope with your payment.
