MAIL:
Please make checks payable to the Town of South Hadley and mail in the envelope provided with your bill. The address on the return envelope sends your payment directly to the Town’s lockbox for automated processing.
If you do not have a remittance slip, or if you are mailing your payment after the due date mail your payment directly to the Collectors Office at 116 Main Street, South Hadley, MA 01075 Room 107. If you do not have a remittance slip please be sure to include the map and parcel or bill number associated with the property you are paying for on your check.
To obtain a receipt, enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope and both the middle and bottom portion of your bill with payment.
ON-LINE:
Make your payment on-line directly to the Town through the Town’s website. Log on to Unibank.
Note: Please be advised that when paying on-line through your bank a check is actually cut and sent to the Collector’s Office. There is a lapse time associated with this process that could result in a late payment. Please be sure to use correct information when making your payment such as the bill number for the current fiscal year, a map and parcel or account number.
DIRECT DEBIT:
The Collector’s Office is pleased to offer a new service --- the Direct Payment Plan. Now you can have your payment withdrawn automatically from your checking or savings account and, you won’t have to change your present banking relationship to take advantage of this service.
The Direct Payment Plan will help you in several ways:
|
No checks to write or envelopes to address |
|
Saves on postage |
|
Worry free. Bills are paid in a convenient and timely manner, even when you are on vacation, out of town on business or if you are ill. |
|
No lost or misplaced statements, your payment is always on time, eliminating the chance of being assessed penalties or interest. |
|
It’s easy to sign up for and easy to cancel. |
Here’s how the Direct Payment Plan works:
You authorize regularly scheduled payments to be made from your checking or savings account. Then, just sit back and relax. Your payments will be made automatically on the specified day with proof of your payment appearing on your bank statement. With direct payment, bills will be sent to taxpayers on the same schedule as bills sent to all taxpayers. As is currently the case, payment will be due 30 days from the date the bill is issued. On the date payment is due; the required amount will be automatically debited from the bank account authorized by the taxpayer. The account may be at any bank which participates in the “Automated Clearinghouse” system; this includes over 90% of all banks in the nation. Property owners whose taxes are included in their mortgage cannot participate in this
program for real estate tax payments.
There is no charge from the Town for this service, however, you should check with your financial institution to determine what charges, if any, it may have.
The taxpayer may cancel participation in “Direct Payment” at any time by notifying the Town Collector, in writing, 21 days prior to the date you wish to terminate the service.
The Direct Payment Plan is dependable, flexible, convenient and easy. To take advantage of this service click on the link below, fill out the authorization form and return it to Town Collector, 116 Main Street, Room 107, South Hadley, MA 01075. Please include a check with “void” written across it from the account you wish to use in payment of the desired bills.
