Utility Billing
As of May 1, 2024, payments made to the City of Fort Lauderdale by credit/debit card will incur a merchant transaction fee. The fees, which are determined by your bank and/or card provider, range from $1.95 to 2.95% of your payment. The fee does not apply to payments made via recurring ACH or one-time EFT. The City does not receive any portion of the fee. This is a city-wide change that will be implemented in phases, beginning with payments to Utility Billing.
