Please use the drop box when:

• You cannot get to our office during our normal business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

• Saturday is more convenient to drop off your payment.

• It is close to the 10th and you are not sure if you mail your payment that it will arrive in time to avoid

interest charges.

• It is more convenient to drop off your payment during normal business hours.

If you are dropping off a check with no stub, please be sure to include your block and lot number with payment.
