Payment methods:

  • Cash
  • Check or Money Order, payable to “Haines Twp. Tax Collector, Andrea Vonada.”
  • Visa, MasterCard & Discover see below for more information:

Credit Card Payments: Visa, MasterCard & Discover are processed by PayGov, LLC. Two charges will appear on your credit card or bank statement. One for the Tax paid, and the other for the convenience fee assessed by PayGOV.US and will reflect “Convenience Fee” on your statement. The fee is 3% of the total charged with a minimum of $1.00. If you include your email address, you will receive an emailed receipt from PayGov.US.

IF UNDERPAID, the payment will be denied and will be reflected on your statement several days after the payment date, depending on the type of card. The 3% or minimum $1.00 fee will be a separate charge and applies even if the payment is denied because you paid the wrong amount.

IF OVERPAID, the payment will be adjusted down and approved, and will be reflected on your statement several days after the payment date, depending on the type of card. The 3% or minimum $1.00 fee will be a separate charge on your statement.

 

Ways to Pay:

As per Local Tax Collection Law, “where payment is made by mail (or in the lock/dropbox), a receipt is required only when the taxpayer encloses with the payment a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) for the return of the receipt.” Thank you.
