Explanation of Credit Card Convenience Fees
The Tax Collector's office will accept Mastercard, Discover, American Express or Visa credit cards over the internet and phone. Due to credit card company restrictions we are not able to accept credit cards over the counter.
Credit card companies charge a fee to businesses or governments who accept their cards. The fee is a percentage of the amount charged. Thus, accepting credit cards is an additional expense. To offset the cost of credit card usage, Florida Law specifically provides for a convenience fee to be added to those transactions. Unfortunately, credit card companies are only allowing the use of convenience fees IF the payment is made through a "third party" such as over the internet or phone. For many years Tax Collectors across the nation have worked to convince the credit card companies to allow a convenience fee for each credit card payment. Unfortunately these efforts have not been completely successful.
We will accept American Express, Discover or MasterCard or Visa credit cards via our web site and a toll-free phone number. A convenience fee will be added to your tax bill if you choose to pay by one of these methods. All convenience fees are paid to the company that processes the credit card transactions. The Tax Collector's office does not retain ANY portion of this fee.
You will find that our convenience fee of 2.5% is one of the lowest in the state and we're hopeful that competition will eventually lower the fee. As always, we are proud to serve you.
