enroll in the pre-authorized payment plan
update their mailing address
Property owners can register for the online portal to complete the secure, two-factor authentication process. To register, they will require the access code from their property tax bill from 2023 or later. The access code is located at the top right corner of the Interim or Final Tax Bill.
