Attention Tax Payers: Due to an issue with the card processing company all debit card payments are being charged the same fee as credit card payments (2.75%). They are working on fixing the issue within the next week. Please note that the convenience fees are charged by financial institutions for processing your payments and that the Sheriff’s Office receives no portion of these charges. If you want to avoid card fees, you may want to use an alternative method of payment. We apologize for any inconvenience. This issue is beyond our control.
