Online banking or financial institutions |

You may pay via online or telephone banking as well as most financial institutions. Please take your bill with you to the bank. Please contact your bank directly if you have difficulty setting Town of Midland up as a payee for online banking. Try typing Midland(Town) rather than Town of Midland and chose the option for taxes – the account number is your 15 digit roll number with no hyphens. To avoid penalty and interest charges, please remit your payment well in advance of the due date as it may take several days before we received your payment. |
