We are now offering a PDF billing form which allows the blanks to be filled-in when it is open on your computer. Click here! Note you cannot save the filled-in form. After it is filled-in, e mail it to the e mail address listed on the form. If your browser is linked to your e mail program, you can click the submit button and it should open an e mail for submission automatically. Note we are accepting electronic signatures on these forms. If you wish, you can print them out, sign them and mail or drop them off at our office.
Please provide feedback on any problems that you encounter with the form so we can fix it. The program is much more difficult to use than we thought it would be. E mail Holly.Zwirner@macombcountymi.gov. Thanks!
