We accept cash, checks, credit, and debit card payments in our offices. This includes Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. For credit/debit payments, a convenience fee of 2.95% of the transaction total with a minimum of $2.50 fee is charged by our third-party payment processor. The Tax Collector does not keep any portion of this fee. For online payments, we accept credit, debit, and eCheck (electronic check). There is no service fee for eCheck payments. If you are paying off delinquent property taxes for a property that is in tax deed status, payment must be made in cash, certified funds, or wire transfer.

You can try the on line site, but it's not always working well. If you go to the office, they will give you {for a fee} a hard copy of your title. Bring your paperwork showing the lien is paid. Sometimes Banks take a long time to get the release over to DMV.

8 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday except holidays.

A bill of sale with the date and the amount, and the seller signed title. They can keep your title in the cloud or you can purchase the new one that day. It helps to have insurance, especially if there is a lien.
