⚠️Important Update: ZIP Code Validation for Credit Card Payments Beginning June 15

Beginning June 15, ZIP code validation will be required for all credit card transactions made through our payment system. This added security measure helps protect cardholders and reduce fraudulent transactions.

To help avoid payment delays or declined transactions, we encourage all residents and payers to review any saved or stored payment methods before June 15 and confirm that the billing ZIP code entered matches the ZIP code associated with the card on file with your financial institution.

If your billing address or ZIP code has recently changed, please update your saved payment information as soon as possible.

Thank you for your attention to this update and for helping us maintain a secure payment experience.
