Palm Coast will begin using processing fees for credit, debit card and ACH/eCheck payments starting June 1.
The fees will apply to both online and in-person payments for a variety of city services, including utility bills, code enforcement fines, business licenses, building and planning permits, business inspection fees and other payments, a Palm Coast press release said. The fees were absorbed by the city, but will begin passing them along to customers as part of Palm Coast's cost management and fiscal responsibility strategy.
No fees will be charged for the following payment methods: cash, personal or company checks, money orders or bill payments initiated directly through the bank. The change is projected to save the city $700,000 annually, the press release said. The discussion on changing the fee system occurred at the Feb. 18 Palm Coast City Council meeting.
Below is the fee structure changes.
