To view your account or make a payment online go to https://bedfordtwp.authoritypay.com. There is no fee for paying with an electronic check (ACH) from your bank account. A service fee of $3.00 or 2.65% of the transaction amount, whichever is greater, is applied to credit card payments. This fee is collected by the third party vendor at the time of the transaction.

Cash, check and credit card payments are accepted in the office M-F 7:30am to 3:30pm. A drop box is available outside the office for deposit of payments.

Automatic Debit is available by completing the ACH Authorization Form and returning it and a voided check to the BTMA office. Automatic payments are processed on the bill due date.

If using the USPS to remit payment, we recommend mailing payment at least 7-10 business days prior to the due date to help ensure delivery to BTMA by the due date. BTMA is not responsible for payments that do not arrive in our office. Failure to receive a bill does not relieve anyone of the charges or late fees.
