What is pre-Authorized tax payment?

Monthly Payment Plan:
Our pre-authorized debit plan allows your tax payments to be made automatically from your bank account, on the 15th day of each month and credited toward your tax account. You make 10 EQUAL MONTHLY PAYMENTS beginning February 15th; and the 10th payment on November 15th will complete your payment for
the balance of the taxation year. Please note, the system will automatically recalculate your payment amount prior to your final bill being sent out. The new amount will begin once final bills are processed.

Due Date Method:
You may wish to opt for the Due Date Method, which allows for the actual tax installments to be debited from your bank account on the tax due dates and credited to your tax account.
