When a resident owes a deposit or a balance, they pay it on the portal. The money settles to your bank account, the resident covers the processor fee, and Dekree never touches public funds.
Online fee collection is included at no platform cost. The resident pays the processor fee; funds settle straight to your bank account.
Statutory deposits and fee balances stall requests while a check moves through the mail. Dekree lets the resident pay the exact amount online the moment the bill is sent, so fulfillment is not gated on the post office.
Collect the 50% deposit under MCL 15.234(8) and the balance, each only after the fee is formally sent. Amounts are computed server-side, never guessed.
Payments route through your own connected account directly to your bank. Dekree never holds the funds — that is the architecture, not a promise.
The processor fee is the resident’s, not your office’s. There is no Dekree platform fee on a collected payment.
Residents pay by card or US bank account. You keep your own dashboard for any refund.
Every payment is recorded against its request — purpose, amount, and timestamp — for a clean reconciliation.
Payments is free and included. Turn it on when you want online collection; leave it off and nothing changes.
