1. Can I make a payment different than the amount that I owe?

No, if you wish to submit an amount different than what is owed on the invoice, please mail the payment to the address listed on the invoice with a copy of the invoice coupon AND a written explanation as to why a different amount is being submitted.

Your invoice may list past due invoice and their amounts. Payments for those past due amounts can be done online in the same manner as the current invoice. Multiple invoices can be paid in one transaction.

2. How can I pay multiple invoices in one transaction?

Once you have added your first invoice to the list, you will be able to search for additional invoice numbers to add to your list. Once all invoices have been added to your list, you can continue to the payment screen to pay them all in one transaction.

3. Can two credit cards be used to pay the same invoice?

No, only one (1) credit card can be used to pay the invoice in full.

4. Who is eligible to make a credit card payment?

Currently, only unpaid Secondhand Registration/Disinfection Permit, Stuffed Toy Registration, Boiler and Elevator invoices can be paid electronically. Registration/Permit applications must still be submitted by mail with a check or money order.
