If I try to pay my real estate tax with my Redcard and give the city clerk's office as the address (where payments are addressed if by check), will it go through as cash or a check (as if I mailed a check myself)?

Or will it go through as a credit/debit card transaction which would trigger the fees?

And if this would work, should I list the city as a "business" or "personal" payee? (It is technically neither- it is a government).

Or would the better approach be to take the money out via ATM and pay in person, or transfer the money to a bank account and pay with a personal check (to avoid the fee) ? I assume these would work but adds another layer of complexity.

I'm new to Redcard. Still learning. Thanks in advance.
