Those doing business with the Borough of Avalon soon will be able to make tax and other administrative payments on-line with a credit or debit card.

A resolution authorizing the on-line payment system was approved unanimously by Avalon Council at its meeting on Tuesday.

Among the payments that will be accepted are those for earned income, real estate and local services taxes, as well as fees for garbage collection, sewage and parks.

Borough manager Harry Dilmore said that the service will cost the borough nothing, as an outside company administers the program and charges a fee to users. Tax collector Ed Klicker said the fee is $2 to $4 per transaction.

The service will not accept the Northgate School District portion of any taxes.

Residents can link to the on-line payment service through the borough's Web site at boroughof avalon.org.
