Porter County Recorder expands payment options

VALPARAISO, IN.–(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 09, 2012

County Recorder Jon Miller made the decision after researching dozens of providers.

And with the Convenience Fee program the County is able to offer electronic payments without paying the cost.” PayGOV.US is the preferred vendor for Indiana municipal government.
