Payment Center
Welcome! You can now pay most of your City bills from property taxes to parking permit renewals online. Below you will find information about card user fees and links to the city's card processors, MSB Payment Processing and Velocity, for each type of bill.
Please examine the tax bill you want to pay to be sure that it is payable at the City of Ithaca - we cannot collect for another taxing agency (ie. school).
*Convenience fees are based on credit card company rules and the City of Ithaca's agreement with our card processor. (If you have set up a recurring bill ACH directly with the Chamberlain's Office, there is no charge for that service.)
E-check (ACH) =A one time direct payment from a designated checking account. Bank routing number and account number information will be required.
