Terms and Conditions of Use

  • Payments to the Garrett County Government, henceforth referred to as the County, can be made using a credit or debit card. Some services may allow payment with an electronic withdraw from a checking account.
  • Payments are posted to the County's accounting system and will appear on the web site within one business day following payment posting.
  • Completion of a payment transaction is contingent upon both the authorization of payment by your credit card company or bank and receipt of your payment by the County. In the event your payment is not processed, for any reason, you remain responsible for any balance on your account. Late fees and penalties will continue to accrue until payment of the account is received by the County. The County will credit your payment on the date we receive the electronic payment from your credit card company or bank.
