MASSACHUSETTS LOCKBOX EXPLANATION
The State of Connecticut does not permit fire districts to establish or utilize their own bank-operated lockbox payment processing services within the state. As a result, the Trumbull Center Fire District utilizes a lockbox processing facility located in Massachusetts through its banking institution.
This arrangement allows tax and other payments to be mailed to the Massachusetts lockbox, where they are securely received, opened, processed, and deposited directly into the district’s designated bank account. The lockbox service provides timely processing, improved security, reduced handling of payments by District personnel, and enhanced internal financial controls.
Although payments are mailed to a Massachusetts address, all funds are deposited directly into the Trumbull Center Fire District’s accounts and are managed in accordance with Connecticut law, the district’s financial policies, and established auditing procedures. The Massachusetts address serves solely as the payment processing location and does not affect the ownership, custody, or accounting of District funds.
