Offers 24/7 access to essential city services without needing to visit a physical location.

Some users have reported significant issues across multiple browsers (PC, iPad, and mobile), including the site being "temporarily unavailable" during high-traffic periods.

Periodically, the Clerk’s office runs "Amnesty" months (such as April 2026) where late fees and back charges are waived for purchases made via EzBuy, provided records are created by a specific deadline. Detailed User Experience Review

The site allows for fast and convenient online dog emblem purchases.

Users can add Residential Zone Parking to their stickers for an additional fee (approximately $35/year) or purchase daily guest permits.
