County moves to online tax payments in Sandoval County
Sandoval County will launch an online credit card tax payment system next month, a move officials say aligns with a wider shift toward digital services. Deputy treasurer Larry Polanis notes rising annual charges for card processing, predicting costs could reach 32,000 next year and beyond, yet residents increasingly expect convenient online options. He compares this to the convenience of paying for everyday purchases with cards. County Commissioner David Bency emphasizes prioritizing online services as the system arrives.
