Coming Soon: Pay Your Farmington Property Tax Bill on the City's Website

Farmington residents will soon be able to put property tax, utility bill and other payments made to the city on plastic. 

Council members paved the way for the convenience, which comes at a price, with the passage of a resolution during Monday's city council meeting. City treasurer Chris Weber said his department will select a provider in the next few weeks.

"The transaction fees will be paid for by citizens, as a convenience fee," Weber said. The fee will range from 2-3 percent of the transaction amount. He said the fee is clearly differentiated; providers have screens on their websites that notify residents they are paying the fee. 

"I'm glad we're going to this," council member JoAnne McShane said. "It's really a lot of help to some residents." 

Residents will be able to make credit card payments either on the city's website or in person at  by the end of September, Weber said.
