QuestionAnswer
What can I do with a Virtual Town Hall account? Creating your Virtual Town Hall (VTH) account allows you to view your property taxes, and your water/wastewater bills, plus view and pay for general receivables. The self serve account manager allows you to change your mailing address, customize your paperless notification settings and start, stop or change a Pre-Authorized Payment (PAP) plan.
How do I update my account?  Once signed in, click on the "Welcome" button in the upper right corner and select edit my profile. Here you can update your mailing address, email address and phone number. Please note: changes made to your profile will apply to all accounts linked to this profile.
How do I view my transactions and balances? Once you are signed into your VTH account you will see all the accounts associated with your customer ID on the Account Listing page. To see details about the accounts, click the blue hyperlink. 

For property tax accounts:

Click the Balances / Transactions tab to see historical transaction information and outstanding balances (available from current to three years of historical billing). By expanding the Tax Year Summary tab and scrolling to the very bottom you can see pending transactions and the total of the most recent final levy.

Click the Account Transactions tab to see historical transactions available from current to three years of historical billing.

opening the message inbox (indicated by the mail/envelope icon), opening the message and clicking the "Bill" button.

Or;

On your account listing page, click on the account number hyperlink. Click on "Account Transactions" (general receivables) or "Balances / Transactions", then "Transaction History" (property tax) and click on the Show Bill button - the longer you are enrolled, the more history you will see.
