Credit card company by-laws require the Department of Finance to use a third party to process credit card payments for VISA, MasterCard, and Discover. Albemarle County uses a third-party processor named PayPal to process credit card payments for property taxes.
To use the online service, PayPal will charge you a convenience fee of $0.30 cents + 2.5% transaction fee if paid by credit card or PayPal. The County is pleased to also offer payments by e-check however due to an increasing volume of problems with customers' e-check payments such as insufficient funds, closed bank accounts, incorrect bank account numbers, and other problems, we regret that we must now charge $1.50 to process your e-check payments. This additional $1 fee prevents the County from accepting transactions that are invalid due to these various reasons. A PayPal account is NOT necessary to pay your bill(s) online. Albemarle County does NOT receive any of these fees. Partial payments will be accepted; however, please be aware that payments will be applied to oldest balances first and partial payments will not constitute waiver of any penalties or interest on unpaid portions. It may take up to 24 hours for your payment to be processed and reflected on the website.
You will receive a Property Tax Bill if you pay the taxes yourself and have a balance. If a bank or mortgage company pays your property taxes, they will receive your property tax bill. Bills are generally mailed and posted on our website about a month before your taxes are due.
