This Website has been set up to process payments using the virtual check process. This is a no cost, Internet-based option. A form is filled out on a secure web server with your checking account information. Payment is made when you complete the entry process. No fee is charged for this service.

You may make payment on the following types of invoices at this time:

• Payments for research by our Records Staff. (Call first and receive an invoice number )
• Invoices received from our Planning Department.
• Invoices received from our Environmental Health Department.

When you go to the virtual check payment site, you will be asked to fill in information regarding your checking account numbers. Be very careful to enter your routing number with exactly 9 digits. Also be careful to enter your checking account number correctly. Errors in entry will cause your check to be returned.

Please enter the invoice number in the memo box of the virtual check and in the comments box. Also, use the comments box to add any additional information that will help us in applying your payment correctly.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE YOU ENTER THE VIRTUAL CHECK SYSTEM:

• Use Correct Bank Checking Account Numbers
  
  Before you click the "Submit Payment" button, check the bank routing number and the bank account number at least twice to make sure you have entered them correctly. Both of these sets of numbers consist of numbers only with no dashes, slashes, or spaces.
  
  The Virtual Check will be printed with the routing number and the account number you have furnished. If the numbers are wrong, the check will not be honored by your bank and your payment will be reversed.
  
  So, avoid the returned check fee of $25 charged by CDA; double-check the data before you submit the payment.
  
  Some Credit Unions do not accept virtual check transactions. So ask your Credit Union if they will accept this type of transaction.
