Making Payments


If you are found guilty, you are likely to owe someone money for direct damages and punitive damanges. House Code regulates how payments should be collected. Generally, payments must be made within 60 days and made with the Clerk of the House of Commons. The Department of Revenue (DOR) regulates the process of money by notifying, and recording, any money you owe and recording all payments made. If you need help making payments, please contact the Clerk of the House. For errors in your payment, contact the Department of Revenue (DOR).
