CREDIT
CARD FEE:
CREDIT
CARDS: There
is a convenience fee on all property tax credit card transactions. The
convenience fee is 2.5% of the amount of the property tax payment.
This fee is not charged by the City of Madison, but by the processor of
the credit card payment. The credit card companies charge a fee to
process transactions on their network. The City of Madison is required
to collect and remit 100% of the property tax billed amounts to the
taxing jurisdictions. Therefore, the fee for using this type of payment
method is borne by the user. For a no fee method of payment, see eCheck
described below.
DEBIT CARDS:
The fee for this type of
payment is the same as that described above for credit cards.
Seeing that to use a debit card the funds are available in your bank
account, consider eCheck described below.
CHECKING/SAVINGS
ACCOUNT (eCHECK): There is NO
FEE for this method. It requires you to enter your checking or
savings account information. The amount you designate is then deducted
from your bank account.
