The fine print
- Richmond Hill’s own card option is Paymentus, online only, with a 2.25% fee and up to five business days to process. It doesn’t take cards in person or by phone.
- If you miss the due date, the whole balance becomes due. If it’s still unpaid 20 calendar days after the final notice, the arrears move to your property tax account and a $47.50 administration charge is added.
- The city says bank payments can take 3 to 5 business days to arrive, so schedule ahead.
- If you’re on a Richmond Hill pre-authorized debit plan, cancel it before paying through Chexy so you don’t pay twice.
- American Express works for utilities only with eligible billers picked from Chexy’s search bar; Visa and Mastercard work either way.
- Rewards are set by your card issuer, not by Chexy.
- Chexy accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards in your name. Prepaid cards aren’t supported. Some categories (mobile, internet, gym and car leases) need Visa or Mastercard, and for utilities and taxes American Express works with eligible billers only.
