Payment Types

New! Town Clerk Requests & Payments

Held up at the RMV? Read carefully the release times with each payment type.

Parking Tickets and Excise reported to the Registry of Motor Vehicles paid by credit card will release at the RMV in 2 business days. Debit cards will convert to electronic check (ACH) and all ACH will release the hold in no fewer than 6 business days.

Only 1 tax bill can be paid at 1 time. You will be redirected to restart the process to select and pay another bill (ex. multiple excise tax bills). We apologize for the inconvenience, this unintentional limitation is temporary. Parking Tickets by plate and Utility Bills by account do allow multiple payments in a single transaction. Thank you for using the Anytime Self Service system!

Payments using a check are free. If you intend to use a credit card see the credit card fee schedule.
