Personal Banking Checks

Many residents pay by using personal banking “bill pay” checks through their bank. While this form of payment is accepted we do want residents to be aware that even though the payment may be automatic on your end it is not on ours. We do not have a direct payee link between any personal bank and these forms of payment are not electronic. Your bank cuts us a paper check and then mails to our office via the USPS. Therefore, even though the payment may show as paid on time on your end, we may not receive it until much later. Again, with post mark not being accepted please make sure that you allow adequate time for these payments to reach us.
