Residents and businesses can now pay municipal

Paying municipal taxes and fees in Jonesboro, Arkansas is now
easier thanks to a new online payment system offered by the city.
Residents and businesses can visit ar.gov/jonesboro to make
convenient online payments from their mobile devices or desktop
computers with a credit card, debit card or electronic check. The
city is also now accepting debit or credit cards for in-office
payments.
From the website’s homepage, residents can enter their unique
resident identifier to retrieve all invoices and make payments for
mowing, demolition and sanitation fees, as well as alarm fees,
street repair charges, parking fees, privilege licenses and
sponsorship payments. The search feature also allows residents to
look up their resident ID directly from the payment system.
Business owners can also elect to pay motel or hotel taxes,
privilege license renewals, alcohol beverage taxes and telephone
franchise fees from the website. In addition, required
documentation can be easily uploaded prior to making a payment.
“We’re excited to offer this new convenient payment system to
our Jonesboro residents and businesses,” said Mayor Harold Perrin.
“People can now pay many taxes and fees with just a few clicks on
their phones or computers. We expect this service to become even
more efficient as we add more online payment options in the
future.”
The City of Jonesboro partnered with the state’s digital
government service provider, the Information Network of Arkansas
(INA), to develop its website (ar.gov/jonesboro) and its secure
payment system which ensures privacy, security and data integrity.
Credit card transactions include a processing fee to cover the cost
of the system which INA developed for the city free of charge.
