Town of Plainville - Revenue Collector's Cash Acceptance Policy
The Town of Plainville Revenue Collector follows the cash acceptance procedures outlined below. The purpose of this policy is to ensure accurate and secure acceptance of cash payments, minimize the risk of inadvertently accepting counterfeit notes, avoid loss, and safeguard the integrity of financial transactions.
All cash received at the Revenue Collector's office is processed and verified using a counterfeit detection device. This machine accurately counts the cash and identifies notes that cannot be validated as legal currency. In the event the currency is rejected by the machine, the cash will not be accepted by the Revenue Collector's Office and must be replaced by the payor. The payor has the option to write a check for the difference or exchange the rejected notes with valid legal currency. Anyone who tenders invalid notes shall remain liable to the Town for payment of the underlying obligation.
