NEW ONLINE PAYMENT OPTIONS COMING TO THE VILLAGE OF CHATHAM
The Village of Chatham is implementing new online payment systems to improve convenience and expand available services.
Unlike the previous online payment system, the new systems provide more consistent and predictable fee structures while offering multiple payment methods, including credit/debit cards and electronic check (ACH).
Property Tax Payments (New Temporary Online System)
The Village is introducing a new online payment option for property taxes.
This system is different from the previous online payment method, which had limited functionality and was not widely used. The updated system is designed to be more user-friendly and easier to navigate.
Features include:
Property Search: Search by property address or owner name to locate tax bills
Online Bill Access: View tax bills directly online
Secure Online Payments: Select tax bills and proceed to payment using credit cards, debit cards, or electronic checks (ACH)
Please note that this tax payment system is temporary and will be used during the Village’s transition to a unified billing and payment system.
Utility (Water/Sewer) Payments
The new utility (water/sewer) payment portal enables users to manage recurring payments, including secure Auto-Pay enrollment using bank account (ACH) or credit/debit card payments.
The system is designed to streamline payments, reduce manual data entry, and minimize errors.
Features include:
Flexible Enrollment and Auto-Pay: Enroll in recurring automated payments through the online payment portal
Email Notifications: Receive reminder emails prior to scheduled payments, including payment amount and processing date information
Multiple Payment Methods: Supports automatic deductions or one-time payments via credit cards, debit cards, or electronic checks (ACH)
Account Management: View billing history, manage payment methods, and download bills online
