Payment and Fee Information
Our administration has worked with the Lackawanna County Tax Claim Bureau to ensure that you have options for paying your taxes if you are experiencing hardship.
You can contact the Tax Claim Bureau to inquire about:
- Statutorily established payment plan procedures.
- Statutorily established deferral programs for older adults (65 and over).
- Procedures for consideration about erroneous billing and/or corrections in accounting for payments.
The City is working with the Tax Claim Bureau to track all of these activities and ensure fair and consistent services are provided and and accounted for accurately. We are here to work with you.
