Electronic Payment Processing for Tax Assessor-Collector, under RFP #23RFP82.

Williamson County is seeking proposals from interested firms for Electronic Payment Processing. The selected vendor will provide the County Tax Assessor-Collector’s Office with a comprehensive program of payment processing services that serve the Tax Assessor-Collector's current and anticipated needs. The County seeks responses from qualified firms who can provide analysis, technology, and services to efficiently process and reconcile a variety of electronic payments, such as credit cards, debit cards, eChecks, and online payments. The Williamson County Tax Assessor-Collector collects property tax, motor vehicle sales tax and fees, vehicle inventory tax, court costs, and other fees for the County. The County intends to coordinate with the selected vendor to provide payment processes to support collection of these payments. The selected vendor is expected to work with the Tax Assessor-Collector, Williamson County Information Systems (“WCIS”) staff, Tyler Technologies, and Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to meet the needs of the Tax Assessor-Collector and the customer. This service is provided at no cost to the County.  Only users of the service (taxpayers) pay for the service at the time of use.  Tax Office Payment Processing RFP #22RFP63 was awarded by Commissioner's Court to Point and Pay, LLC on 06.07.22, agenda item #35. However, there have been unresolved issues with the awarded vendor. There is an interim vendor in place to assist the Tax Assessor-Collector Office until RFP #23RFP82 is awarded.
