The township will accept payment by cash, ACH withdraw or direct payment, money order, bank draft, or conditionally by check. Please make your check, money order or bank draft payable to: Watertown Charter Township Treasurer. When determining timely payment, postmarks will not be accepted.
When paying your taxes or utility bill, please remember to return the bottom portion of your tax bill and the left side of your utility bill with payment.
Payment by Check:
PAYMENT BY CHECK is accepted only as a conditional payment. If not honored by the bank, taxes remain unpaid and are subject to penalties and/or interest. The township will also assess a $35.00 fee each time a check is returned to us unpaid.
