When you pay Electronically
Whether paying online, by phone or in our office, a convenience fee is assessed for your credit card, debit card, or electronic check payment. This fee is paid to Forte Payment Systems, not to Henderson County. The amount of the fee and the total amount to be charged will be disclosed to you prior to you providing your credit card information. You will have the option to cancel the transaction prior to any charge being processed. If you elect to continue, your credit card statement will show two charges, one charge for the tax, the other for the convenience fee. Payments made online and through our automated phone system may take up to 3 business days to reflect online. You will always be credited for payment on the date you make payment.
Convenience Fee Schedule
The following fee schedule applies to payments made online, through our automated telephone system, and also those made in our office.
| Service Type | Fee Amount |
|---|---|
| eCheck | $2.00 flat fee |
| Consumer Visa Debit Only | $4.00 flat fee |
| All other Credit/Debit | 2.45% of payment total, $1.55 minimum fee |
* Remember: Cash, Check, and Money Orders are always accepted on timely payments in our office with no additional fees.
