Property-tax local instructions: Payment confirmation; saved text paragraph 203
Please print a copy of the confirmation number you receive when completing the payment. This number is your proof of payment. If you are unsure if the payment was completed, or if the system did not provide you with a confirmation number, try the payment again. Our system provides real time posting to your taxes - it will not accept a duplicate payment for the same installment.
