Can I pay the whole thing at once? Can I pay monthly or quarterly instead?
Yes. You may pay the entire bill at once or, if it is easier to pay in smaller increments, we will accept your payments at any time of the year. Just make sure you meet the deadlines to avoid interest and penalty fees.
What if I can’t make payments by the installment due date?
Even if you make a partial payment it will save you some interest charges. We do accept partial payments. Any remaining balance on an installment will be subject to a 1 percent (1%) or fraction thereof for the first three months and thereafter one and one half percent per month (1 ½%) per month or fraction of, from the due date of each installment.
Can I pay my bill with a credit card?

Any amount unpaid after May 16, will be subject to a one-time 8% penalty plus 1 percent (1%) or fraction thereof for the first three months and thereafter one and one half percent per month (1 ½%) or fraction of, from the last installment.
Does the Town accept payments that are postmarked by the due date?
Yes. Granville accepts the postmarked date, if we can read it.
I would prefer to pay my tax bill in person. What if I can’t get to the office hours posted on the door?
There is a drop box next to the office door – for check and money orders only. You can drop your payment in the drop box 24/7.
