Returned Checks

The procedure currently in effect for returned checks made payable to the "City Treasurer" is as follows:

  1. A notification letter is sent advising the check writer of the amount due plus a thirty five dollar ($35) returned check fee.

  2. If the check and corresponding fees are not paid within five (5) days of receipt of the letter, legal action may initiated by the Treasurer's Office.

  3. Penalty and interest will continue to accrue until the check is paid.

  4. The returned check and corresponding fees must be paid in cash, certified funds or money order.

  5. If the check was written for taxes or decals, the Treasurer's Office will not accept checks for three (3) years after the date it was written. Only payments in cash, certified funds or money order will be accepted.
