For Real Estate or Personal Property Tax Payments the following process shall be followed:
a) The Treasurer or their designee shall send a letter to the check bearer of the NSF check informing the bearer that the check has been returned and that the total amount due – the original transaction amount, the actual/current bank NSF fee and the town’s NSF fee of $15.00 is due within 10 calendar days. Payment cannot be made using a personal check.
b) The letter shall also indicate that the transaction that was paid for using an NSF check has been reversed in the system and that interest continues to accrue on the tax account if applicable.
The Treasurer or their designee will prepare a separate deposit receipt and deposit the NSF check payment in the bank.
For all Other Transactions the following process shall be followed:
a) The Treasurer or their designee shall send a letter to the check bearer of the NSF check informing the bearer that the check has been returned and that the total amount due – the original transaction amount, the actual/current bank NSF fee and the town’s NSF fee of $15.00 is due within 10 calendar days.

This policy may be waived by the Town of Pierce Board in the event that written notification is received from the bank acknowledging that the error was theirs.
