Show All Answers

1. What can I pay for using my debit/credit card or an Electronic Check (eCheck)?

At this time you can use the City of Nashua’s Online Payment Portal to pay for the following:

Lease Parking
Motor Vehicle Renewals
Parking Fines
Parks & Recreation payments
Regularly billed Wastewater charges
Property Tax payments

You will be charged a processing and transaction fee to conduct any debit, credit or eCheck payment online. You can avoid paying these additional fees by paying in person with cash or personal check or by mailing a check payment. Please allow 3 to 5 business days to receive your registration renewal(s).

2. Do I have to contact my bank before using an eCheck?: No. An eCheck is a payment drawn electronically from your bank checking account. Using an eCheck does not require a debit or credit card. To use an eCheck you will be asked for both your routing number and your account number. This information can be most easily obtained from bottom of your paper checks, or you can contact your financial institution for the numbers (some list routing numbers on their website). The numbers are never stored by the City or the payment processing vendor after the transaction is complete.
