About
The Finance Department consists of four divisions: Budget, Accounting, City Clerk and Procurement. Together, these divisions promote efficient and effective use of Everett's resources by providing citywide financial services in accordance with federal, state and local laws and regulations.
NOTICE
Effective July 1, 2019, the City of Everett will be implementing a 2.3% service fee on credit and debit card transactions. Credit and debit card processing fees represent a significant cost to the City and the implementation of this service fee will offset those costs. This fee implementation is one of the steps the City is taking to control the rising cost of doing business.
