Is it possible to make a payment by telephone or over the Internet using a credit card?
The Person County Tax Collector's Office has entered into an agreement with Voice Data Solutions and CC Payment Service to provide taxpayers an automated payment service. Note: CC Payment Service charges a convenience fee for all credit card transactions.

You will be informed of all charges and fees before you authorize the payment. This fee is in addition to any charges, such as interest, that may be assessed by your credit card issuer or financial institution. There are NO charges by Person County for processing the payment transaction and we do NOT receive any portion of the convenience fee. 

When paying by telephone or the Internet, please allow two business days for your payment to be credited to your account.

What credit cards can I use?
 Discover Card, MasterCard, and Visa

Can I use my debit card?
The ability to pay with debit cards depends on the type of card issued by your financial institution. There are debit cards that can be used as credit cards. These cards usually have a MasterCard or Visa logo and do not require a PIN number. This type of card may be used for the payment of taxes.
