No, we recommend that you only pay bills with a check or money order and remember to place your payment coupon and check in an envelope.
Yes, permits are required for garage and yard sales. Two (2) garage/yard sale permits will be issued per person or same location in any given year.
Permits are issued at City Hall, and they cost $2.50 each. However, if a person participates in the Annual City Wide Garage Sale Event held every June, this does not count toward your two-permit limit.
The City mails taxes twice a year, July 1st for the summer cycle and December 1st for the winter cycle.
You can call the Police Department to answer all your parking ticket questions.
Yes, failure to receive the tax billings does not eliminate the penalties. As a property owner it is your responsibility to make sure you receive your taxes. If you have not received a tax notice by the second week in July and December, please contact City Hall for a copy.
City Hall is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and we do not close for lunch.
All taxes are delinquent on March 1st of any given year, meaning summer and winter taxes go delinquent March 1st. On this date the City no longer can accept payments or answer tax questions. All inquiries will be directed to the Berrien County Treasurer, 269-684-5274 extension 8569.
The actual parking ticket can be used as a mailing envelope. Simply enclose a check into the envelope and affix a stamp, seal the envelope and drop in the mail. Of course, you can also pay your ticket in person at the Police Department.
Taxes may be paid by mail, by drop box or in person at City Hall or online by clicking "Online Water/Tax Bill Pay" button on the City's website.
