Salem City has contracted with Official Payments Corp., to process your personal property and real estate taxes online. Official Payments will collect your payment information using a secure server, process your credit card payment, issue a confirmation number for your records and transmit the information to the City Treasurer.

There is a fee for this convenience (see chart to right). After you enter the amount you wish to pay in tax, the system will tell you the fee and add the fee to the payment. You have the option to authorize the payment or may cancel the transaction if the fee is unacceptable to you. The system will issue an onscreen confirmation number and a printable digital receipt. Confirmation is e-mailed to users who request it. The charge will also appear on your credit card statement: the tax amount on one line, the convenience fee amount on a separate line.
