The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, in cooperation with Frederick County Treasurer Bill Orndoff, have unveiled a new payment kiosk in Winchester.
It's name is Fred...Short for Frederick County E-Treasurer.
There is a touch screen with a fully-operational keyboard and printer.
The system also comes equipped with a camera and speakers for future development of live communication with a correspondent.
The kiosk is for the convenience of residents in southern Frederick County.
They can now make payments at the kiosk instead of traveling to the treasurer's office in downtown Winchester.
Bill Orndof/Frederick County Treasurer: "Also in cooperation with DMV we have a program where we place stops for registrations and that gives them the opportunity to pay taxes and release the stop without forty-five, fifty minute drive downtown to the county office complex.
The e-treasurer is the first wireless kiosk of its kind in the state of Virginia for payment of county taxes and decals. Real estate, personal property, vehicle decal, and other taxes are available for viewing and payment.
This kiosk has been in operation for two weeks and Mr. Orndoff expects forty to fifty tax payers each month to utilize this option at the DMV.
