Vehicle Parking

Just a reminder that village ordinances restrict the parking of motorized vehicles on lawns in the Village of Weston. This includes vehicles you may have for sale on your property. We have noticed an increased amount of lawn parking of late. Please move your vehicles to an all-weather surface such as your driveway or you may receive a friendly visit from one of our police officers asking you to do so. 
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.
