Returned check policy:
Payments made by check to the City of Savannah’s Revenue Department that are not honored by the bank will incur a returned check fee of $30 or five percent (5%) of the check amount which ever is greater. The payment will be reversed from the appropriate account when a check is returned by the bank. Any account not paid in full by the tax due date is subject to interest, penalties, and additional court fees may be added if not paid within 10 days.
A collection letter is sent to inform the account holder of the returned check and consequences if not paid within 10 business days(except utility bills). Payment may be mailed to Post Office Box 1228, Savannah, Georgia 31401 or made in person at the Broughton Municipal Building on 132 East Broughton Street.
Returned check reimbursement payments must be in the form of cash, cashier’s check, certified check or money order.
The City of Savannah will not accept checks as payment if two checks have been returned for insufficient funds. |
