How to Submit Payment

Online payments

An online payment program allows customers to pay for their transactions by credit card (Discover, MasterCard, American Express, VISA, Paypal, or Google Pay) or by electronic check. A convenience fee of 2.95% applies to all debit/credit card transactions ($2.95 minimum). 

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/debit 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. The Tax Collector does not keep any portion of these fees.

International & Commercial Credit Card Fee: 3.95% service fee ($2.95 minimum)
