Buy Online – Save Tax Dollars
November 6th, 2008
Lorain County Auditor Mark Stewart’s website is now offering early registration for 2009 dog tags. When an owner purchases their tag online, they are removed from this year’s postal mailing.
The email to dog owners explains the benefits:
In attempting to lower our printing and postage costs, we are urging all dog owners to take advantage of this opportunity to purchase their 2009 tag now. Early registrations will potentially save taxpayers thousands of dollars and ensure that funds are available where they are needed most – for the housing and care of animals at the Lorain County Dog Pound.
While the early registration is new, online registration has been available in Lorain County since 2001. Emerge started working with the Auditor’s office in 2000 to accept online payments and added the Dog Registration option in late 2001, in time to purchase 2002 tags.
Based on the success of the program and Emerge’s experience with Lorain County, we have begun receiving calls from other County Auditors about implementing similar online purchasing around the State.
