School lunch fees in Yokohama City (elementary schools and special needs schools)

Payment of school lunch fees is based on fund transfer in principle. Please apply from the web fund transfer reception service or submit the "Yokohama City School Lunch Fund Transfer Request Form and Automatic Payment Application Form" distributed at the school to counters such as financial institutions. If you want to change your registered account, or if your account name has changed, please apply again.

＊Application for fund transfer of school lunch fee requires a separate procedure from school payment (school year expenses, etc.).
＊Please note that after applying at a financial institution, it may take one to two months for the fund transfer to be made.

The fund transfer date for school lunch fees is 11 times from May to March of the following year (including August).
The transfer date is the 29th of each month (the last day of February), but if it is a holiday or a holiday, it will be the next business day.

Please pay at the counter of a financial institution, etc. by the payment slip mailed together with the dunning notice next month. If payment cannot be confirmed after the specified deadline for the dunning notice, we will provide you with a telephone call.

＊Retransfer has not been carried out.
＊Depending on the number of days from the day after the initial payment deadline to the date of payment, a delay penalty of 3% per year will be collected separately. In addition, if it is less than 100 yen, the amount will be rounded down, if there is a fraction less than 100 yen, the fraction will be rounded down.

We plan to collect in various ways from the viewpoint of ensuring the fairness of school lunch fees.
Eventually, the court may request payment and take legal action (such as seizure of salary) to shift to compulsory execution.
