Online Banking

Setting up the Town as a Payee

You can pay your taxes or other town invoices online through your online banking app. The process is simple: add the Town as a new payee using the appropriate account number (see below) and submit one payment at a time. The bill payee name for the Town of Cardston may be unique to your bank. Look for TOWN OF CARDSTON TAXES or TOWN OF CARDSTON UTILITIES, or a similar name. Note: Please ensure that you are submitting payments to the Town of Cardston, not the County of Cardston, this is a common mistake people make when attempting to set up the Town as a payee. Please contact your banking institution for aid or information.

How to find your Account Number

Taxes: Use the six-digit “account number” shown on your property assessment notice. This is the roll number for you property. Any amount submitted to the roll number with be applied to taxes.

Invoices: Use the account number indicated on the invoice (not the invoice number). Your account number uses the first four letters of your last name, followed by the first letter of your first name, and a three digit number (ie. if you name was John Smith, your account number would be "SMITJ001"). Please note that some banks do not accept letters in an account number. 

Water Fill Station: Use your four digit fill station number as the account number. If your bank does not accept four digit numbers, then use leading zeros until you have enough digits (i.e. "00001234").
