Clarington Discontinues Cash Payments for Municipal Services

The Municipality of Clarington has decided to discontinue the acceptance of cash payments for municipal services, as outlined in the General Government Committee minutes from April 17, 2023. This change will take effect on August 1, 2023, for most services, while cash payments at all Recreational Facilities will be phased out during the first quarter of 2024. The decision was made to facilitate the implementation of electronic and credit card transactions. Additionally, the resolution repeals a previous policy to allow for credit card payments, and it states that transaction fees may be passed along to users where possible.
