Alma’s a great place to live and raise a family. We are proud of our quaint, walkable downtown that continues to improve with new restaurants, shops and apartments. Being the home of the Alma College Scots, we provide opportunities for the arts and culture that rival much larger cities.

Need to pay taxes or a utility bill? Drop off a permit? Return your ballot or other election mail? The City has two drop box locations for your convenience.
1. Drive up drop box located at the Alma Public Library. No need to get out of your car. The box is 1 of 3 located in the library drive - the box is clearly labeled for the City of Alma. Please be sure you are dropping payments and important documents in the box for the City - not in the book return!
2. Silver drop box located just outside the west doors of the Municipal Building next to the mailbox.
3. A new drop box has been added outside the west doors of the Municipal Building for absentee ballots, applications, or other election mail only, and will be accessible during the 40 days prior to each election.
