Online Payments now available
on Weston Website
| |
|
Through a partnership with Official Payments, the Village is now able to accept online payments for utility and tax bills through its website. Official Payments will charge a convenience fee of $4.95 for utility bills and 7% of a tax payment. The village hopes to add more convenient payment options in the future. "We are currently doing some research on vendor options and point of sale solutions that will allow us to take more forms of payment whether you come to the counter or want to pay a bill from the comfort of your own home" said Nate Crowe, Director of Technology Services. As
 Weston continues to add other options, those convenience fees should see a decrease. Please stay tuned to future newsletters for updates regarding additional payment options.
