Payment Options

There are a number methods available to ratepayers for payment of taxes:

Electronically-You can pay your County bills over the phone, or via the internet, through your own bank.

Getting started is easy. Three simple steps and you're underway:

1. You will need your bank card, password, either the phone number or internet address listed below and the amount of your bill
2. Once you have connected to your bank, just follow the simple steps your bank will walk you through
3. The first time you pay a Mountain View County bill, you will need your Customer Number from your bill (it starts with a "C" for a regular account or a "T" in the case of a Tax Notice)

Electronic payment also includes Mountain View Regional Waste Management Commission (MVRWC) and Mountain View Regional Emergency Services (MVRES). Follow the same steps as above but be sure to choose the appropriate payee (e.g. MVRWC or MVRES instead of the County). Your MVRWC account number begins with a "W" and your MVRES account begins with 3 letters followed by a 2 digit number.

Note: Pre-registration is required if you do not currently use electronic banking services. Just phone the Customer Service number for your bank to get started.

This 1/3 balance will be withdrawn in four equal monthly payments which will be drawn from your account on the last day of the month beginning September 30th. The remaining 2/3rd of your tax bill will be due on September 15th as per your tax notice.
