NOTIFICATION REGARDING CUSTOMER PAID CREDIT CARD SERVICE FEES

As of July 1, 2020, all credit or debit card payments will be subject to service fees. Credit and debit card processing companies typically charge 2-3% of the billed amount which is paid directly to the company, not the City. You can avoid these fees by paying with cash, check, or e-check.
