www.chesterfieldtwp.org. There will be a nominal fee charged for this

This service to pay taxes by way of credit card is provided by a third party
company named Official Payments Corporation. This independent third party will
charge the taxpayer a fee to use its services. However, unless or until taxes
are paid by the way of authorization from the credit card company, those taxes
remain the taxpayer's liability
Important Information for New Buyers: Tax bills are prepared in June and
November. The transfer of property during that period can result in tax bills
being directed to the previous owner rather than the new responsible party. The
U.S. Post Office directs mail based upon the addressee information on record.
Thus, they may forward tax bills to the former owner's new address. New
homeowners should call or stop in at the Treasurer's Office to make certain they
receive their tax bill.
