The Town of Sherman Tax Collector’s Office has a service agreement with the company Invoice Cloud to accept payment by electronic check (EFT/ACH), or with the use of a debit/credit card. Invoice Cloud charges taxpayers a convenience fee for processing their transactions. The fees are 2.99% for credit/debit cards and $0.95 for e-checks (EFT/ACH). These fees are charged by Invoice Cloud, and not the Town of Sherman. The fees are non-refundable. Taxpayers will have the opportunity to back out of the transaction before it is processed.
You are responsible for entering your payment information accurately and completely. Your payment may not be processed if you fail to provide accurate account numbers or other necessary information. If your payment cannot be processed due to your error or omission, you will be charged a $20.00 return transaction fee, just as you would with a returned check.
BE INFORMED! Personal Electronic Banking:
These services may not mail your payment when you expect them to! You assume the risk of your payment arriving late if you choose to use these services. These payments come to us without a postmark, and because of this, the must be RECEIVED BY US before the last day to pay in order to be considered timely. Normally the postmark controls, but if there is no postmark, timeliness depends solely upon our receipt of the payment.
Please read the instructions and warnings provided by your own bank before using any electronic bill payment service. Many service providers specifically advise NOT to use the service for tax payments for the reasons given.
If you choose to use one of these services, we suggest your transaction should be processed at least two weeks before the last day to pay to attempt to ensure your payment reaches us before the deadline. It is our recommendation that you DO NOT use your own electronic bill pay service after the two weeks before the last day to pay date, because the payments may not be timely received by us.
