VISA is no longer accepted at the counter in Tax Collector’s Office branches. VISA has ordered government agencies, to stop conducting lawful counter service payment transactions for tax payments, such as vehicle registration and business taxes.

VISA is requiring government agencies, including the Tax Collector’s Office, to sign merchant agreements that would force them to pass on VISA’s charges to all customers, not just those who are using their credit cards at the counter. MasterCard, American Express & Discover continue to be accepted by the Tax Collector’s Office at the counter, through the mail, by way of automated telephone and online. Because of VISA’s order, the Tax Collector’s Office is limited to accepting VISA by way of mail, automated telephone and online transactions.
