Flood
Starting March 1, 2025, payments made to the City of Fort Lauderdale by credit card or PIN-less debit cards will incur a service fee which is determined by the City’s third-party processor as 2.75% of your total payment amount. The City does not receive any portion of this fee.
This city-wide change will be implemented in phases. The fee does not apply to payments made via:
- Recurring ACH or one-time EFT transactions
- In-person check payments at 700 NW 19th Avenue
- Checks sent by mail to 700 NW 19th Avenue
- E-check payments online through a bank
To avoid the fee, consider using one of these alternative payment methods
