AVAILABILITY OF SERVICE

This service is available until 11:59 pm, Central Time, on October 31, 2023.

DATE PAYMENTS DEEMED ACCEPTED

Payments are deemed accepted on the next business day after you complete your Online Payment request, provided that funds have been successfully transferred from your bank account to the Treasurer's bank account. The date the funds are transferred will be recorded as the payment date.

ENTERING INCORRECT BANK ACCOUNT AND/OR BANK ROUTING INFORMATION

The taxpayer is solely responsible for ensuring that they have entered the correct bank account and ABA routing numbers before submitting an Online Payment request. Improperly entering your bank account number or your financial institution's 9-digit ABA routing number can result in your Online Payment request being rejected.

ENTERING INCORRECT VISA, MASTER CARD OR DISCOVER CARD ACCOUNT INFORMATION

The taxpayer is solely responsible for ensuring that they have entered the correct account information before submitting an Online Payment Request. Improperly entering your card number can result in your Online Payment request being rejected.

NOTICE OF DENIED PAYMENT REQUESTS

If you provide an incorrect bank account number, incorrect 9-digit ABA bank routing number and/or an incorrect credit card number and your payment is denied by your bank, you will be notified by U.S. mail/email that your Online Payment request was rejected. This notice will be mailed to the taxpayer who made the Online Payment request. Letters notifying taxpayers that their payment attempt was rejected may take 7-10 business days to generate once the Treasurer's Office learns that an Online Payment request was unsuccessful or the payment was denied by the taxpayer's bank. If your Online Payment request is denied and you do not re-submit corrected information on or before the due date, you will be liable for late payment penalty.

RETURNED TRANSACTION

If your Online Payment is returned to us unpaid, your payment will be cancelled. Payment of your taxes must then be made by cashier's check, cash or money order including any late penalties.

OPEN TO ALL TAXPAYERS, REGARDLESS OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTION USED TO PAY

You do not need to be a customer of Chase Bank to use this service. It is open to all taxpayers with financial institution accounts in the United States.

REFERENCE/CONFIRMATION NUMBER

The "Reference/Confirmation Number" that you receive DOES NOT confirm a successful transaction. This number means that your Online Payment request has been successfully received. Receiving a "Reference/Confirmation Number" DOES NOT mean that your bank account number or your bank ABA routing number were entered correctly, and DOES NOT mean that funds are available at your bank. This number is merely your proof that you submitted a request to make an Online Payment.

YOUR DUTY TO CONFIRM SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER OF FUNDS

To avoid late payment penalty, it is the duty and responsibility of the taxpayer to confirm with their own financial institution that the transfer of funds was successful.

VERIFICATION OF PAYMENT

You may wish to confirm with your bank within 2 business days of submitting your Online Payment request that your payment was successful; as it may take up to 5 business days to reflect the payment paid on the Treasurer's website. You can also call our office 630-407-5900 Monday-Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm for verification.

TRANSFER OF FUNDS DATE

Funds are transferred from your account by the end of the next business day following your Online Payment request. A successful transaction is defined as a timely Online Payment request on the correct parcel number, resulting in a successful transfer of funds from the user's bank account to the DuPage County Treasurer's account.

TRANSFER OF FUNDS REQUESTS ARE ONLY SUBMITTED ONCE

If a request to transfer funds is returned by your financial institution for any reason (i.e., insufficient funds, closed account, stopped payment, etc.), the request to transfer funds will not be resubmitted. Payment requests are only submitted one time.

PROOF OF PAYMENT

If the Treasurer's payment records differ from the taxpayers' records, final decisions will be based on the Treasurer's written, computerized and mechanized records regarding the transaction.
